Jacqueline Louie (she/her) began her articles with Victory Square Law Office LLP in 2022 and became an associate at the firm in 2023 upon her call to the bar. She practices in labour, employment, human rights, and administrative law.

As a result of her own lived experience as a racialized woman, Jacqueline’s practice is grounded in a commitment to defending and advancing the rights of workers and unions through thoughtful, intersectional, and trauma-informed legal advice and advocacy.

In the summer following her second year of law school, Jacqueline worked as a summer law student at the Migrant Workers Centre where she assisted migrant workers in BC with their legal issues. In her final year of law school, Jacqueline wrote a major research paper on employment and Charter rights of gig workers in British Columbia, and was student clinician at The Law Centre, where she provided legal assistance to low-income residents.

In 2020, Jacqueline authored the article “Trauma-Informed Lawyering for Asian Communities”, which was re-published in 2023 by the American Bar Association in the book Trauma-Informed Law: A Primer for Practicing Lawyers and a Pathway for Resilience and Healing.
