Amanda Baron

Co-Founder

I’m Amanda, one of the founders of Jointly. I’ve been working as a lawyer in British Columbia for over ten years. I have a deep commitment to access to justice and building stronger, more resilient communities. I’ve always believed that everyone deserves affordable, clear, and accessible legal solutions to navigate life’s big moments.

I founded Jointly because I want to empower more Canadians with the knowledge and tools to create relationship agreements that work for them, at a price they can afford. My big dream? That reaching more Canadians with Jointly ultimately keeps more families out of the court system when relationships breakdown, which can be slow, expensive and traumatic. (I may or may not have personal experience with this 😅)

When I’m not lawyering, I’m most likely hiking with my dogs, kayaking the coastal waters around North Vancouver, or hitting the sauna and cold plunge.

Frequently asked questions

If your question isn’t answered here, please email us at hello@getjointly.ca

What do I need prior to using the Agreement Builder?

Please review the course materials and have your completed disclosure worksheets and agreement worksheet. In addition, please use a computer to use the Agreement Builder.

The Agreement Builder doesn't display correctly on my phone

Jointly is meant to be used on a computer. It’s difficult to complete this process on a phone!

How long will it take to use the Agreement Builder?

We expect this process to take about 1 hour. You will have the opportunity to save your progress and come back by selecting the “Save link to continue later” link that’s at the bottom of each page.

I'm having technical difficulties with the Agreement Builder.

If you have technical difficulties or need help, please contact us at hello@getjointly.ca.

Where will my generated agreement be stored?

We don’t store a copy of your agreement. It will be emailed to you within a couple minutes of you completing the Agreement Builder. You can also download it from the last screen on the Agreement Builder.

How do I change what the agreement says?

If you have created a draft but decide your agreement should say something different, you can go through the Agreement Builder again. There is no limit to how many times you can use it. If you click on the “Save link to continue later” link at the bottom of the Builder while you’re drafting, you’ll get a link from our document generation provider, Gavel, which allows you to go back and edit a questionnaire you’ve completed. This can make editing easier and quicker!

I have questions about the agreement.

We recommend that you ask a lawyer for legal advice after you are finished generating your agreement. You and your partner should each see a separate lawyer who can explain the agreement to you and sign the independent legal advice certificate. This will help make the agreement enforceable!

I'm not happy with my agreement. Can I request a refund?

We’ll happily provide a refund within 30 days of your initial purchase. Get in touch with us at hello@getjointly.ca to discuss further.
