Chelsea Colwill,

“I was drawn to Lawson because of the kindness of the people who work here, the size of the firm and the quality of the work.”

Chelsea Colwill is an articling student in the Vancouver office at Lawson Lundell. Chelsea Colwill returns to Lawson Lundell after clerking at the Tax Court of Canada. She is called to both the British Columbia and Ontario bar. She is engaging in an internal articling program to round out her experience articling at the Tax Court. At the Tax Court, Chelsea worked closely with judges on cases involving individual and corporate income taxation as well as sales tax.

Before clerking, Chelsea worked as a research assistant for Professor David Duff assisting with his international tax textbook. She was a clinician at the Business Law Clinic where she assisted in incorporating a start-up and drafting contracts for clients.
