Barb was called to the Alberta Bar in 1976 and was a founding partner of WK Family Lawyers LLP.  Her legal career is characterized by her strong leadership, patient mentorship, tenacious energy and genuine compassion for family law. Barb paved the way conducting mediations in the Calgary family law bar long before it was commonplace.

She was awarded the well-deserved honour of Queen’s Counsel in 2006. Barb has built a tremendous reputation with her ethical, pragmatic and caring approach to serving her client’s needs.

Barb’s retirement years will focus on her passion for golf and spending time with her treasured family: husband Rob, daughter Amy and son Ben. Our beloved Barb retired the practice of family law at the end of June 2021 and will always be at the heart of our firm.

We miss you Barb and wish you every success on this new adventure!
