Founder
STEPHANIE STREAT
LL.B, B.A.
Founder of Synthesis Legal, Stephanie is the perfect example of what happens when grace & grit collide. She has a fire to do it right and solve it well. Authentically relatable with the edge and exceptional knowledge required to achieve success in civil litigation and construction law, she has created a firm with a high-level of competency and respect — clients know they are in the right place when needing both immediate, trusted legal representation as well as an inclusive member of their team for the long term.
No two clients or challenges are alike. We approach our legal strategy with a creative eye tailored to each unique situation, to effectively resolve our clients’ legal problems.
While some disputes will be efficiently resolved using our skills in negotiation, mediation or arbitration, other matters require confident manoeuvring in the courtroom. Fortunately for our clients, we are adept at (and enjoy) each of these strategies.
We provide strategic business advice to clients to avoid disputes, or are called upon when a dispute has already arisen.

Solid, Optimal Solutions
REPUTATION & RESPECTABLE RELATIONSHIPS
Relationships are critical. With all parties and all aspects of a dispute. Where strained relationships can be mended, the project and the parties benefit – enhanced trust, a quicker flow of money, and future work together are often the result. Synthesis Legal doesn’t shy away from picking up the phone to discuss and get to the root of a problem. Wherever possible, we get involved in a project early, when things are starting to go off track, and love working with others to build solutions to keep it moving forward. The construction community is too small to make too many enemies. We take pride in having respectable relationships with members of the construction industry, law firms throughout BC & AB, and financing agents so we can provide solid, optimal solutions. Of course, where necessary, we enjoy litigating challenging legal issues in Court.
Legal services are provided through our law corporation. Nothing on this webpage is legal advice for you, but we would welcome the opportunity to discuss further.
