Lesleigh Mackenzie, JD
Associate Lawyer
Lesleigh is a family lawyer who has, from a young age, had the goal of becoming a family lawyer. She is passionate about helping others and creating a positive atmosphere during an otherwise difficult time in clients’ lives. Lesleigh was adopted at the age of 8, and through this experience, understands how her role as a family lawyer can provide professional support for families in difficult situations.
Lesleigh was raised in Lethbridge, AB. Before law school, she earned a Bachelor of Arts (with Great Distinction) from the University of Lethbridge, studying Psychology and Philosophy. While this degree was only a stepping stone to law school, Lesleigh enjoyed learning about human psychology and neuroscience, as well as the development of the brain and how individual experiences shape ones’ life. She believes this knowledge is beneficial in helping clients navigate the legal system with empathy and compassion.
Lesleigh graduated with her JD degree from the Peter A. Allard School of Law at the University of British Columbia in May 2024 and was called to the British Columbia bar in 2025. During her time at Allard, she volunteered for Pro Bono Students Canada where she created and led multiple info sessions on family violence in the legal system to staff and parents at West Coast Family Centre. In her second year of law school, Lesleigh also served as a Student Clinician at Rise Women’s Legal Centre where she provided pro-bono legal services to women and gender diverse people in their family law matters. This experience furthered her mission to promoting access to justice as it provided her with front-line exposure to the many obstacles barring people from the justice system.
In her own time, Lesleigh enjoys reading, plant shopping, paddleboarding, listening to a true crime podcast, or finding a good show to wind down with.
