Kirsten Hanson

Born and raised in Calgary, Alberta, Kirsten pursued her passion for law after obtaining her Bachelor of Arts degree in English from the University of Calgary in 2016. While attending Law School in the United Kingdom, she immersed herself in the realm of family law. Her journey led her to graduate with a Juris Doctor from the University of Surrey in 2019.

Since her call to the bar in July 2021, Kirsten has dedicated herself to practicing exclusively in family law. With a keen interest in child custody disputes, she aims to leverage her expertise to champion the best interests of her clients. Whether through negotiations, mediations, or court appearances, Kirsten remains steadfast in her commitment to serving her clients' unique needs.

A proud member of the Law Society of Alberta and the Calgary Bar Association, Kirsten actively contributes to her community through volunteer work with organizations such as Surrey Nightline student listening services, the Foothills Hospital, and Fernie Search and Rescue.

Outside of her legal endeavors, Kirsten finds solace in skiing, traveling, and spending quality time with her loyal companion, Tucker.

Drawing upon her experience and dedication, Kirsten specializes in family law alternative dispute resolution (ADR). She guides parties through the court-mandated ADR process, understanding the profound impact that parenting conflict and family violence can have on children and their development. As a skilled ADR practitioner, Kirsten strives to facilitate resolutions that prioritize the well-being of all involved parties.
