In his practice, Nathan finds fulfillment in solving problems and helping clients reach reasonable outcomes.
A desire to build a modern law firm that puts service and client experience on the same pedestal as expert legal work and advice, drove Nathan to co-found Hayes Fry Law with his partner and wife Leah. As a divorce lawyer, Nathan leaned into the power of mediation to settle disputes in a kinder, less costly manner than in the courtroom. When out of Court efforts fail, Nathan is confident and comfortable appearing before the Court to advocate for his clients.
Given the importance and high-stakes nature of his files, Nathan’s clients appreciate his ability to empathize and acknowledge the difficult place they are in. He seeks to bring fairness to all situations and believes the best resolutions are generally compromises. Nathan views it as his responsibility to keep his clients focused on the big picture goals rather than the fight of the day, allowing them to resolve their matters efficiently while focused on what really matters to them.
A University of Saskatchewan graduate and Regina native, Nathan loves his adopted hometown of Grande Prairie. Nathan collects scotch, vinyl, and cooking novelties he impulsively buys at Home Sense. Nathan tries to fit in workouts while still finding time for his beautiful wife Leah and his amazing son. But if you call him on a Sunday morning, you’ll find him asleep with his three fluffy-faced felines.
If we went to happy hour, what would you order?
If the temperature is above five degrees, a bourbon, if it’s less than five degrees, a scotch. If we’re at Padrinos, an Italian Wedding Cake martini.
Pet peeves?
Poor written communication.
What’s the favorite part of your workday?
I enjoy slow mornings spent catching up on the problems of the day, the news, and checking in with staff to make sure everyone is happy in and outside of the office.
