Born and raised in Northern Alberta, Lindsay Tate graduated from law school at the University of Alberta in 2010. Before attending law school, she earned a Bachelor of Journalism degree (with Highest Honours) from Carleton University in Ottawa. Since joining the firm in 2011, Lindsay has practiced solely in the area of criminal defence, including charges under the Criminal Code, drug offences under the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act, and driving and related offences under the Traffic Safety Act.

Lindsay completed her articles at the firm under Alexander Pringle, Q.C., after clerking with the Court of Queen’s Bench in Edmonton. Her time at the Court gave her an opportunity to assist a number of the Justices of the Court with legal research in a variety of areas of law. Since being at the firm, Lindsay has been able to assist in the preparation of appeals before the Court of Queen’s Bench and the Court of Appeal and trials in both provincial court and the Court of Queen’s Bench. She became an associate at the firm in 2011.

While in law school, Lindsay was heavily involved with Student Legal Services, an organization of law students that provides legal assistance to low income individuals in the Edmonton area. She was Coordinator of the Criminal Law Project of Student Legal Services and now serves as member of the organization’s Board of Directors.

Lindsay is happy to meet with you and provide you with information and advice about your options regarding any criminal matters you may be facing.
