Abbey Elkington
Articling Student
Abbey is currently completing her articles at Bruyer & Mackay. After a career in education as a teacher, Abbey chose to return to school to pursue a second career in law. Abbey utilizes her experience in education to effectively inform her practice in family law as that experience afforded her a deep understanding of family systems.
Abbey was born and raised in the Edmonton area. She completed her Bachelor of Education at the University of Alberta and her Juris Doctor at the University of Saskatchewan. During law school, Abbey worked with the Canadian National Negotiation Competition (CNNC) as a student coordinator. She enjoyed working with the CNNC so much that she now sits on their board of directors. Abbey also did an intensive practicum during law school focused on child protection.
Abbey returned home to Edmonton with her husband and two boys to start her career in law after working as a summer student with Bruyer & Mackay in 2024, and then returned Bruyer & Mackay to complete her articles and be called to the Bar.
Outside of work, Abbey enjoys spending time with her family, attending her boys’ sporting events and walks with her dog Lenny in the river valley.
