Colin Bryden,

I was drawn to Lawson Lundell because of the firm’s strong focus on mentorship, and the excellent reputation of its lawyers.

Colin Bryden is an articling student in the Calgary office of Lawson Lundell. He is interested in exploring multiple practice areas with a particular interest in the firm’s regulatory practice.

Colin completed his Juris Doctor at the University of Alberta Faculty of Law. During law school, Colin received a scholarship from the Foundation for Natural Resources and Energy Law, and won the R. John Adams and Agnes M. Adams Prize for Research in Current Oil and Gas Issues. In his third year he went on exchange to the University of Copenhagen in Denmark.

Prior to attending law school, he completed a Master’s Degree in Earth Sciences at Dalhousie University, where part of his project involved mapping and collecting geological samples in western Norway. Since graduating he has worked with his thesis supervisor and co-authors from the University of Alberta to publish his research findings in the peer-reviewed scientific journal Lithos. Between finishing his education in geology and starting his law degree, Colin has also had a range of work experiences, including an internship at the Alberta Washington Office at the Canadian Embassy in Washington D.C. and a stint working in the fire assay lab at the Hope Bay gold mine in Nunavut.
