Kimberly Thauli is an Associate Lawyer at Derpak White Spencer LLP, whose practice focuses on family law, wills and estates, and civil litigation. She assists individuals navigating complex and often high‑conflict legal issues, with a particular focus on practical resolution and clear, forthright advice. Kimberly routinely acts for clients in a wide range of family law matters, including parenting disputes, child and spousal support, division of family property and debt, excluded property claims, and the negotiation and variation of Cohabitation Agreements, Separation Agreements and Court Orders. She also has litigation experience in wills variation claims, lease disputes, and other civil matters.

Kimberly has built a strong litigation‑based practice and regularly appears before the Supreme Court of British Columbia, the Provincial Court of British Columbia, and Small Claims Court. While she has significant experience with court applications and trials, she is mindful that litigation is not always the most effective path forward and that many disputes can be resolved efficiently through negotiation, mediation, or collaborative processes. She brings a practical, strategic approach to each matter, and works closely with her clients to develop thoughtful solutions that address both their immediate concerns and long-terms needs. Her experience includes complex procedural matters, such as lengthy Registrar’s hearings, allowing her to effectively guide clients through detailed and technical aspects of litigation.

 

Kimberly holds a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from the University of Victoria, graduating with Distinction, and earned her Juris Doctor from the University of Alberta. Her background in psychology informs her client‑focused approach to family law, emphasizing clear communication, empathy, and candid advice so clients can make informed decisions with confidence.

 

Outside of practice, Kimberly is a former competitive fast‑pitch player who competed for eight years at the highest amateur level in Delta. She continues to enjoy the sport and values the discipline, teamwork, and resilience it fostered.

Client Testimonial

 

“I would like to take this moment to praise Kimberly Thauli for her work on my trial and the whole legal process during this last year. While being a newer lawyer her exemplary effort, research and determination in my case far exceeded my expectations. She has gone beyond what I expected from a law firm and I can absolutely say that she represented me and my requests to the fullest. She is a fantastic person and lawyer. She is a asset to your law firm.” - Shawn B.
