Leanne E. Way is a partner at Bennett Grant LLP whose work spans family law, wills and civil litigation on the defence side. Separating couples can choose the collaborative route with Leanne, who very much enjoys that kind of family practice, along with a seat on the Office of the Children's Lawyer panel.
Leanne articled with this firm and, after the Bar Admission course in London, came back to it in January 1998. Two summers with Nesbitt Coulter in Ingersoll came earlier. Leanne holds an Honours B.E.S. from the University of Waterloo and a cum laude law degree from the University of Ottawa.
Farm roots run deep. Leanne grew up in Salford, Ontario, with 18 years of chores on a dairy operation, and law school in Ottawa meant three winters of skating to class along the canal. Kitchener is home now, and Leanne volunteers with the kids' hockey, lacrosse and baseball teams and is a past president of both Big Brothers Big Sisters and Family and Children's Services in Waterloo Region.
