CALGARY'S LAWYER FOR HIGH-ASSET DIVORCE
The Advantage of a Financially Trained Lawyer
Advantage Family Law helps you establish financial clarity and stability through your separation. Christopher Bungay, the firm’s senior lawyer, personally handles this analysis, combining more than 23 years of legal experience with business and financial training from Harvard and Columbia.
For high-net-worth families with investments, business interests, retained earnings, or insurance policies, that background makes the difference. Christopher identifies and assesses family assets, including homes, vehicles, investments, and businesses, establishing ownership, value, and each spouse’s legal interest so nothing is overlooked or mischaracterized.
Christopher helps you make decisions that are based on facts instead of emotions. He guides you to make choices about your family home that are based on financial data and the best interests of your children. Christopher also carries out a detailed analysis of all business and family earnings to ensure amounts paid for support are fair and accurate. He explains your full range of options so that you can make sound decisions about dividing assets such as property, vehicles, and investments.
Advantage Family Law is focused on the practical realities of divorce. We minimize conflict and help bring stability to your family.
Creating Parenting Arrangements That Work
We help establish parenting schedules and decision-making arrangements that reflect your family’s needs and support your children’s best interests.
Reducing Conflict Between Parents
Clear boundaries and effective communication prevent unnecessary disputes. Christopher builds frameworks that encourage respectful interaction between parents.
Resolving Family Matters Privately
Whenever possible, disputes are resolved through negotiation, mediation, and other confidential processes rather than public courtroom litigation, preserving privacy and giving families more control.

Our Approach
Resolving Disputes Through Mediation First
As a trained mediator, Christopher’s first priority is resolving disputes through honest negotiation rather than a courtroom battle.
