Both people matter equally
Fairness, partnership, and transparency are built into every step. You build your agreement together, not against each other.
Our story
Built by lawyers who’ve lived the problem
Jointly was founded by Aimee Schalles and Amanda Baron, two practising Canadian lawyers. Year after year, they’ve seen the same story play out: couples who needed a fair agreement, priced out of working with a lawyer, and left to gamble on generic templates that won’t hold up.
They built Jointly as the middle path: real legal craftsmanship, on an easy to use platform, at a price ordinary couples can afford.

What we believe
Planning ahead is an act of love, not distrust
Too important to trust to AI alone
We use technology to make the process easy and affordable. The legal substance comes from practising lawyers, always.
Access to justice, for real
Legal protection shouldn’t be a luxury good. Education is free for everyone, and the full agreement costs about a tenth of the traditional route.
The founders
Aimee & Amanda
Two practising Canadian lawyers who decided the fix was worth building themselves.
Co-founder
Aimee Schalles
Aimee has practised law in British Columbia for over ten years and runs a small firm in Revelstoke. She has seen first-hand how hard it is for ordinary people to get reliable legal help, and how many hard separations could have been softened if couples had written things down while everyone was still getting along. Jointly is her answer: the agreement you’ve been meaning to make, without it being weird or expensive to start.
Co-founder
Amanda Baron
Amanda has practised law in British Columbia for over ten years, with a deep commitment to access to justice and resilient communities. She founded Jointly to give more Canadians the knowledge and tools to make agreements that work for them, at a price they can afford. Her big dream: keeping more families out of a court system that is slow, expensive, and traumatic.
