Kelly advises both employers and employees on all aspects of employment law, with an emphasis on claims relating to wrongful dismissal, employment standards and human rights. Kelly also acts for clients with respect to a variety of labour relations matters, such as interpretation of collective agreements, unfair labour practices and union-employee relations. She has represented clients before the British Columbia courts, boards of arbitration, and various administrative tribunals, including the Human Rights Tribunal and the Labour Relations Board. 

After obtaining her Bachelor of Business Administration degree (specializing in human resource management and industrial relations) from Simon Fraser University in 1995, Kelly completed her law degree in Toronto. She received numerous awards and scholarships in the course of her studies, including the University of Toronto Davis & Company Entrance Scholarship. She articled with a large national law firm in Vancouver and practiced exclusively with its labour and employment group after her call to the Bar in 1999. She joined Hamilton Howell in 2004 as an independent contractor.

Kelly has a common sense approach to employment and labour law. She understands the need for practical, cost-effective solutions and advocates strongly for her clients with this goal in mind.

In her spare time, Kelly sits on the executive of the Queen’s Park Preschool Society.
