FARRAH E. KOHORST Farrah E. Kohorst completed her undergraduate studies at Vanderbilt University in 2004 and her LL.B at the University of Calgary in 2007. During her articling year, just prior to joining the Bell and Stock team, Farrah discovered her natural attraction to the practice area of Family Law. She continues to thoroughly enjoy this practice area and anticipates developing her skills and expertise for many years to come.
Farrah loves litigation, but believes in negotiation and mediation. She views herself as a tough, but reasonable lawyer who always strives to keep in mind the “big picture” and possible terms for settlement. She has no desire to work with clients who repeatedly insist on taking unreasonable positions based on pure emotion or spite. She understands separations are a difficult and stressful time filled with many emotions, but feels her clients are best served by being guided to an amicable, reasonable settlement which she strives to accomplish in a cost-effective and timely manner.
Additionally, Farrah was the mastermind behind the firm’s annual Gentleman’s Scotch n’ Learn which focuses on presenting basic principles of Relationship Law to the public. She believes public awareness of these principles is very important given the ever increasing statistics relating to common law separations and divorces. The firm plans to extend this annual seminar to a ladies only version in the near future. Related to this concept is Farrah’s desire to continue to spend a good portion of her time focusing on co-habitation agreements and prenuptial contracts. This is an ever emerging area in Family Law and she plans to be well prepared to meet the demand.
When not working on her files, Farrah can be found volunteering with various law committees, snowboarding and working on her golf game.
