We are pleased to welcome Amber Penney to our partnership, effective August 1, 2019. Amber is originally from Newfoundland and was called to the Newfoundland and Labrador Bar in June 2012 and to the Nova Scotia bar in July 2012. She has been practicing family law since that time. Amber joined Lenehan Musgrave LLP in 2017, and immediately became a valued member of our growing family law team.

Amber prefers to settle matters outside of court when possible, saving her clients from the financial and emotional costs of litigation, and encouraging her clients to determine their own resolutions whenever possible. Her knowledge of family law and dispute resolution benefits her clients both inside and outside the courtroom.

As a member of the Association of Collaborative Professionals of Nova Scotia, Amber has received training in dispute resolution and is a collaborative family lawyer. This certification has enabled Amber to create customized solutions and prioritize an interest-based approach for her clients.

Amber is also a member-at-large for the Canadian Bar Association Nova Scotia Branch and Vice Chair of the Canadian Bar Association Nova Scotia – Family Law Section. In this role, Amber hopes to work closely with the other section executive to provide ongoing professional development opportunities for section members, thereby improving the level of service family lawyers in Nova Scotia provide to their clients.
