Paralegal/Incoming Articled Student

Leo Huang

Leo Huang joined Kornfeld LLP in 2024 as a paralegal after 10 years of legal practice in Auckland, New Zealand, where he acquired expertise as a civil and commercial litigator.

At the core a problem solver, Leo delivers thoughtful, balanced and practical advice to clients at all stages of a dispute. He has appeared in trial and appellate proceedings before all levels of courts in New Zealand, and developed experience resolving disputes involving contracts, torts, trusts, companies, and real property.

Leo has begun the accreditation process to be called to the Bar in BC, and will be supporting the firm in a paralegal capacity until he is able to enroll in the Law Society Admission Program as an articled student. Until such time, he will lend his considerable experience to our clients in a support role while he works toward qualifying as a lawyer in BC.

Leo is fluent in Mandarin Chinese and has acted on numerous matters where the primary evidence of key witnesses and documents are in Chinese.

Outside of the law, Leo is passionate about cycling and spends a lot of time outdoors.
