Tara Hamelin

A lawyer's role extends beyond resolving legal issues; it's about preempting them altogether. At Bishop & McKenzie, Tara takes a proactive stance, counseling businesses on employment concerns, crafting policies, and navigating wrongful dismissal claims.

In her practice, Tara adopts a candid approach, handling secured and unsecured creditor matters with precision. She tackles litigation involving wills, estates, and dependents' relief, maintaining professionalism throughout.

Tara's courtroom experience spans Alberta's legal landscape, including administrative tribunals and the Federal Court. Beyond her legal duties, she shares insights with professional groups and fundraises for charitable causes like the Heart and Stroke Foundation.

Originally from Montreal but raised in Sherwood Park, Tara's journey includes eight years in the Canadian Armed Forces. A licensed pilot and Formula I enthusiast, she relishes travel, hiking, and a good read. With two children, her spare moments are family-focused, but she doesn't shy away from a Netflix binge post-bedtime.
