After putting herself through university and law school, Bree Jamieson-Holloway became an international corporate finance lawyer working in London and Hong Kong. However, the demands of her job – which often involved working 20-hour days – resulted in burnout and a recognition of the importance of self-care and nurturing one’s self as a critical part of her health and wellness, which would help shape her later ventures.
Upon returning to Canada, Jamieson-Holloway joined Momentum Law and became a partner. In late 2018, she launched Jamieson Law, a boutique corporate law firm, and single-handedly grew the company organically through word-of-mouth and network referrals.
