Stockwoods lawyer Adam Donaldson was recognized by York University (where he attended law school) as one of its Top 30 alumni under 30. Adam was specifically praised for his volunteer work, mentorship and community involvement, with his entry noting as follows:
Adam is a lawyer, advocate, and strong believer in the value of community. As a varsity student-athlete at the University of Victoria, Adam worked hard to foster a community and create the same experiences that were meaningful to him, for others. After graduation, Adam collaborated with the Government of British Columbia and the University of Victoria to create a program that taught seminar courses to university students alongside incarcerated individuals, promoting post-secondary opportunities after incarceration. Following his work with the Government of British Columbia and an internship with the British Columbia Legislature, Adam fulfilled his dream of becoming a lawyer by attending Osgoode Hall Law School. Grateful for the opportunity to pursue a legal career, Adam worked hard to give back through mentorship and community involvement. After graduating from law school, Adam clerked for judges at the Ontario Superior Court of Justice. Currently an associate at Stockwoods LLP, Adam continues to give back to the communities that have supported him through mentorship and volunteering, speaking at events, and being available to those in his community.
