Crossroads Law Partner Amanda Marsden Recognized as a 2025 Lexpert Rising Star
Crossroads Law is proud to celebrate partner Amanda Marsden, who has been recognized as a 2025 Lexpert Rising Stars Award recipient, an honour that recognizes Canada’s leading lawyers under 40. Notably, Amanda was the only family lawyer in Canada to receive this distinction in 2025, a reflection of both her exceptional legal skill and leadership within the profession.
Amanda has been part of Crossroads Law from the outset. As one of the firm’s original team of seven, she believed in the vision of building a different kind of family law practice, one rooted in compassion, integrity, and respect for the human experience. Her influence has helped shape not only our legal approach, but our culture as a firm.
Known for her trauma-informed practice and background in psychology, Amanda brings exceptional emotional intelligence to complex, high-stakes family law matters. She has a proven track record in navigating difficult disputes with confidence and sound judgement, ensuring clients feel supported, heard, and empowered. Her ability to balance strategic legal advocacy with empathy and insight reflects the standard of service we strive to provide across our firm.
Beyond her legal practice, Amanda is committed to giving back to the community. She supports organizations that assist survivors of family violence and new Canadians, reinforcing her belief that access to justice and meaningful support should extend beyond the courtroom.
Amanda’s Lexpert recognition is a proud moment for our firm and a meaningful milestone in our continued growth. It speaks to the strength of our team, the values that guide our work, and our shared commitment to a more human-centred approach to family law. As we look ahead, we remain grateful for the trust our clients and community place in us and inspired by leaders like Amanda, who continue to shape the future of our profession with purpose and care.
