Kaylee brings a background in forensic psychology, courtroom advocacy, and complex plaintiff-side litigation to her practice at Rice Parsons Leoni Elliott LLP.
Kaylee earned her B.A. in Psychology with a focus on forensic psychology from the University of British Columbia, Okanagan. Her studies focused on how police officers, judges, jurors, and criminal offenders think, evaluate evidence, and make decisions. Her academic standing gave her access to advanced coursework in research methodology and statistics—training that continues to inform her ability to critically assess scientific and expert evidence in litigation.
During law school, Kaylee gained significant courtroom experience through two summer articling positions with counsel for the Ministry of Children and Family Development. She regularly appeared as agent before the Provincial Court of British Columbia in child protection proceedings, developing practical advocacy skills in high-stakes matters involving vulnerable children and families.
Kaylee joined RPLE as an articling student and returned to the firm as an associate following her call to the British Columbia bar in 2026. Her practice is focused on representing plaintiffs in personal injury litigation, with particular interests in class actions, consumer product liability, toxic torts, and medical malpractice.
Kaylee is drawn to cases where the law can be used to confront systemic harm and hold powerful institutions and corporations accountable. She is particularly interested in class actions because of their ability to give individuals meaningful access to justice while addressing misconduct that can affect entire communities. She approaches litigation with a strong analytical foundation, a commitment to rigorous evidence, and a determination to advocate for people who might otherwise struggle to be heard.
