About This Lawyer

Adrianne joined Ahlstrom Wright as an articling student in 2019 and was called to the Alberta Bar in 2021.

Since joining the Ahlstrom Wright team, Adrianne has worked with and learned from her fellow lawyers experienced in most areas including civil litigation, wills and estates, real estate law, corporate law, employment law and personal injury. While still learning the practice of law, Adrianne has enjoyed helping clients find practical solutions to legal problems.

Prior to pursuing her legal studies, Adrianne obtained a B.Sc. in Kinesiology from the University of Alberta, where she also played hockey for the Pandas. Upon completing her undergraduate degree and prior to commencing her legal studies at Bond University in Australia, she eagerly accepted the opportunity to play professional hockey in Europe for 2 seasons. Since then, Adrianne has worked with Strathcona County’s Parks Department, learned French while living in Montreal, and worked in Alberta’s oilsands as an Occupational Health and Safety Advisor. During law school in Australia, Adrianne won several First In Class awards for academic achievement (while failing spectacularly at learning to surf!).

Adrianne’s diverse experiences have made her highly adaptable, sensitive to personal issues and a dependable member of the Ahlstrom Wright team.
