Brown Henderson Melbye is a Victoria Law firm that devotes its practice to family law. There are currently five lawyers and an articled student.

Jane Henderson, Q.C. restricts her practice to mediation and Parent Coordination, while the other lawyers practice in all areas of family law, including Court proceedings, if no alternate dispute resolution can be found to resolve the issues.

Trudi Brown, Q.C., and Kay Melbye are family law mediators with the Law Society of BC, and are qualified to conduct interviews of children for Hear the Child reports to Court. Trudi Brown, QC, Kay Melbye, Devlin Farmer and Laura Atkinson are also members of the Victoria Collaborative Separation Professionals.

All of the firm believe strongly that Court is a last resort and that if at all possible, issues in family law should be settled outside of the Court room setting - by negotiation, mediation, arbitration or collaborative law. Each of the lawyers believes it is important to advocate for his or her client and to effect positive changes to the standards, process and practice of family law in Canada.

Each of the firm members participate in Continuing Legal Education courses - either as students or faculty, and the firm taught Family Law at the Law School at UVIC in 2010. The firm recognizes that family law is a very important area of the law, that often is overlooked by other lawyers and is an area of the law that touches more people than most others.
