Megan George (she/her) is an articling student at ATAC Law. She recently obtained her Juris Doctor from the Peter A. Allard School of Law at the University of British Columbia, where she completed a concentration in Business Law. Originally from a small town in Newfoundland, Megan received a Bachelor of Music (Honours) in Piano Performance from Memorial University of Newfoundland.
During law school, Megan developed an interest in corporate law, inspired in part by her earlier experience working with small businesses. There, she completed a concentration in Business Law, for which she received the ZSA and National Post Award in Honour of Ken Bagshaw, QC.
Through her volunteer and professional experience during law school, Megan developed a strong appreciation for advocacy and a passion for legal writing. She worked with the Law Students’ Legal Advice Program and the Justice Education Society of British Columbia, providing legal information and representation to low-income individuals, and served as a Review Officer with WorkSafeBC’s Review Division, adjudicating disputed issues and drafting formal legal decisions.
Since beginning articling at ATAC Law, Megan has gained litigation experience representing clients before the Supreme Court of British Columbia and drafting various court pleadings. She has also developed solicitor-side experience drafting and reviewing commercial agreements such as share purchase agreements, service agreements, commercial leases, and employment agreements.
Megan’s background as a classical pianist, her upbringing in a small town, and her experience working with low-income individuals have shaped a creative and thoughtful approach to legal problem-solving.
Outside of work, Megan enjoys playing piano, reading classic literature, cheering on the Toronto Maple Leafs, practicing yoga and Pilates, and learning to play tennis.
