Joanne is a Senior Counsel at Walsh LLP who practices in the area of First Nations Law.
Joanne considers herself very fortunate to have practiced almost exclusively with First Nations clients and has helped grow the Firm’s First Nations law group.
Joanne Crook has been with Walsh LLP since 1992. With a rural work ethic deeply engrained, Joanne tried her hand at a few different careers after high school before deciding to go to University and pursue the law. With a clear goal to practice in the area of First Nations law, Joanne started her undergraduate degree in Native American studies at the University of Lethbridge and was then accepted into law school in Calgary.
Joanne came from a farming background, riding horses since before she could walk and has had a horse addiction since that time. She loves the mountains and the small community of Pincher Creek where she grew up but found that Calgary held the most opportunities to practice in her chosen area of law. She figured out a way to be able to continue with her lifelong passion of owning and riding horses when she purchased an acreage in Priddis with her husband. She commutes to downtown Calgary or even better, to southern Alberta to work in one of the Firm’s satellite office.
