Linting (pronounced /ˈlɪn•tɪŋ/) is an associate lawyer at ATAC Law. He obtained his JD from Thompson Rivers University Faculty of Law. During law school, Linting developed a strong interest in litigation and has volunteered with various pro bono organizations, including Law Students’ Legal Advice Program (“LSLAP”), Amici Curiae Friends of Court (“AC”) and the Community Legal Assistance Society (“CLAS”). He provided legal services to low-income and vulnerable groups in local communities related to tenancy, employment, immigration, human rights and small claim issues and has gained practical experience in understanding clients’ legal needs and designing a cost-efficient strategy. In his last term at law school, Linting worked as a law intern at the Provincial Court of BC. In this role he conducted legal research for the judges, edited draft reasons for judgement and became familiarized with a broad range of court proceedings and rules.
Prior to law school, Linting was a graduate student and social science researcher at UBC. He has published in leading scholarly journals and has taught senior level undergraduate courses, which made him highly competent in problem analysis as well as interpersonal communications. Linting also worked as a project manager at a major international trading company in Richmond and co-founded a small business in BC exporting Canadian agri-foods to overseas markets. His entrepreneurial background made him confident in unpacking complex commercial disputes and finding a solution that makes the best business sense for his clients.
In his spare time, Linting enjoys playing soccer and badminton, as well as going outdoor with family and friends.
