Alana DeGrave

As the Managing Partner at Woodward and Company, Alana’s solicitor work spans lands, reserve, and treaty implementation issues. Within this, her practice focuses on reconciling the systemic injustices that often affect First Nations, particularly when it comes to their rights to their traditional lands. Originally from Winnipeg, Alana took an undergrad in psychology back in her home city. Her educational background in both psychological and sociological studies motivated her to pursue justice and truth from an early stage- and would eventually lead her to study law at the University of Victoria. Now with more than a decade of experience with Woodward and Company, Alana has contributed to a number of significant cases, including the groundbreaking Tsilhqot’in Aboriginal Title case. Her results-oriented work ethic combined with her trustworthiness- both as legal counsel and a colleague- provide a strong basis for her characteristically high quality work.
