Expertise

Details

Anna McAllister (she/her)

is an associate at Lenczner Slaght.

Anna summered, completed a winter work term, and articled at the firm, gaining broad experience across high-profile public law matters, complex tort litigation, construction disputes, and professional liability cases. Through this work, she developed a practical understanding of how to develop and advance compelling arguments in and out of the courtroom.

Anna graduated in the top ten percent of McGill Law’s bilingual joint Bachelor of Civil Law and Juris Doctor program, giving her a unique understanding of the pancanadian legal landscape. During law school, Anna embraced various experiential learning opportunities; including teaching a legal research and writing small group program for first-year law students, participating in the University of Ottawa’s Copyright Policy Moot, acting as a group assistant for a contract law class, and working with a legal clinic to represent students in their disputes with university administration. These experiences strengthened her ability to communicate complex legal issues clearly, and to approach disputes with both analytical rigour and practical judgment.

Before law school, Anna completed a bilingual Joint Honours Bachelor of Social Sciences in Political Science and History at the University of Ottawa. She enjoyed studying Canadian politics and law, which was brought to life while working in the Senate of Canada. Anna also enjoyed volunteering her time to advance causes important to her, including working with Kid’s Help Phone, Canadian Parents for French, and serving on Library and Archives Canada’s National Youth Council.

Together, these experiences have shaped Anna’s approach to her legal practice: strategic, results-driven, and mindful of the broader objectives at stake.
