Alyssa Holland

Bio

Alyssa maintains a broad litigation practice with a focus on administrative and constitutional law. Prior to relocating to Ottawa in 2020, Alyssa practiced for five years in the Northwest Territories and Nunavut, where she advised municipal and territorial governments, private sector clients and individuals on a range of issues, including administrative law, human rights, constitutional law and commercial litigation.

Alyssa is a former Law Clerk of the Legislative Assembly of the Northwest Territories, and from 2016 to 2020 she advised the Assembly, its members and committees on some of the most challenging legal and legislative issues of the day. Alyssa has significant experience advising on parliamentary law and governance matters, and thrives at the intersection of law and politics.

Prior to entering private practice, Alyssa clerked for Justice J. D. Denis Pelletier of the Federal Court of Appeal and for Justice Andromache Karakatsanis at the Supreme Court of Canada.

When she’s not at her desk, Alyssa can usually be found cross-country skiing, cycling or paddling. She also makes as much time as she can for music, and in pre-pandemic life, she sang in a folk-rock band.
