Watson Goepel LLP is proud to celebrate an exciting and well‑earned milestone as Tiara Cunningham has officially been called to the Bar and joins the firm as an Associate in our Family Law group.
Tiara's journey to this achievement reflects a strong commitment to learning, advocacy, and service. A graduate of the Peter A. Allard School of Law at the University of British Columbia, she distinguished herself early on through her dedication to supporting underserved communities. During her time as a clinic head with the Law Students' Legal Advice Program, Tiara provided critical legal assistance at the Vancouver Provincial Court—demonstrating both leadership and a deep sense of responsibility to those navigating the legal system.
Her experience continued to grow through UBC's Judicial Externship Program, where she conducted legal research for judges, gaining valuable insight into the decision‑making process within the courts. Prior to law school, Tiara completed her Bachelor of Arts in Sociology at the University of Alberta, bringing a strong understanding of social dynamics that enhances her approach to family law matters.
Tiara's professional experience spans corporate and private practice environments, including time spent working alongside in‑house counsel for a national restaurant chain and at a boutique family law firm. These experiences have shaped her practical, client‑focused perspective and reinforced her dedication to helping individuals navigate complex and often sensitive legal challenges.
As Tiara steps into her role as an associate, her philosophy
reflects the values we uphold at Watson Goepel:
"I strive to guide my clients through challenging family
law matters with strong advocacy and thoughtful legal
solutions."
We are proud to welcome Tiara in this next chapter of her career. Her dedication, compassion, and drive to excel make her a valuable addition to our team and to the clients she serves.
Congratulations, Tiara, on this remarkable accomplishment.
