Ripan has been practicing in the area of strata property law since 2018. She regularly advises strata corporations, owners, and residents on bylaw and rule drafting and amendments, enforcement of bylaws and rules, and broader strata governance matters, including council authority, meeting procedures, voting, and day-to-day decision-making. She also advises on repair and maintenance obligations, common property use, privacy matters, disputes arising within strata communities, and compliance with the Strata Property Act. Her practice includes both solicitor and dispute resolution work, allowing her to provide practical advice aimed at preventing disputes before they arise.

Ripan has represented clients before the Civil Resolution Tribunal, the British Columbia Human Rights Tribunal, the Office of the Information and Privacy Commissioner, and all levels of court in British Columbia, including the British Columbia Court of Appeal.

Ripan is also active in legal education and professional development. She has contributed to the Continuing Legal Education Society of British Columbia’s Strata Property Practice Manual and has presented on housing and tenancy law for organizations including the BC Non-Profit Housing Association. Her commentary on housing issues has also been featured by the CBC.

Outside of her practice, Ripan enjoys exploring Vancouver’s food and cocktail scene, running, reading nonfiction, and spending time with her rescue dog.
