Kyra Benloulou, Clinical Instructor & Supervising Lawyer at The Law Centre

The Law Centre provides legal services and representation to between 1,800 and 2,000 low income clients per year and is the longest running common-law clinical program in Canada. After graduating from law school in 2016, I articled at The Law Centre in Victoria, where I gained experience as a litigator in civil, criminal defence, administrative, and human rights law. Next, I spent a year working a

s an adjudicator for RoadSafetyBC, where I conducted hearings and independently wrote legally binding decisions on reviews of Immediate Roadside Prohibitions. Following this, I worked at a large firm in Victoria, practicing insurance defence alongside Bobbie Keigan, before she went on to found Corvus Law. I have been very fortunate to work with and learn from brilliant women in leadership throughout my working life. I was delighted when Bobbie asked me to come and work with her again at Corvus. Currently, my practice concentrates on criminal defence. I also represent clients with human rights cases, wrongful dismissal claims, and a wide variety of other civil litigation matters. I take the time to appreciate my clients’ unique circumstances, which better enables me to vigorously defend their interests, whether in the context of a settlement, hearing, mediation, or trial. In my spare time, I enjoy playing boardgames, walking around Elk Lake, dog-sitting for friends and family, and competing with my team in an annual international scavenger hunt.
