"EFV LEGAL HAS HELPED ME ELEVATE (AND PROTECT) MY BUSINESS IS SUCH A HUGE WAY"
– a corporate client
Anouck completed her undergraduate degree in Criminology at the University of Ontario Institute of Technology. Shortly after, she travelled to the United Kingdom to complete her law degree at the University of Sussex. During her articles at a Burlington law firm, Anouck focused on assisting clients with estate planning, providing a compassionate approach to what is often a difficult but necessary topic of discussion.
Anouck is originally from the small town of Maynooth, Ontario (located close to Algonquin Park). Living in a close knit rural community has taught Anouck the importance of relationships, community support and excellent customer service. In her spare time, Anouck enjoys cooking, bingeing true crime podcasts, and taping trees for maple syrup with her family. She owns far too much plaid and is incredibly proud of her small town Dutch-Canadian upbringing.
Anouck’s scope of practice centers around wills, powers of attorney and estate planning matters.
