Hart R. Spencer
Hart Spencer is a Partner at Grey Wowk Spencer LLP, where his practice is primarily focused on family law, criminal defence, and Child and Family Services matters. Since joining the firm in 2010, Hart has built a reputation as a thoughtful advocate who combines practical legal advice with dedicated courtroom representation, helping clients navigate complex and often emotionally difficult legal challenges.
Raised in Oxbow, Saskatchewan, Hart developed a strong work ethic through both academics and athletics. Throughout his youth, he earned provincial championships in volleyball, hockey, golf, and speed swimming while also receiving numerous awards for public speaking. His competitive spirit and leadership skills would later become defining qualities in his legal career.
Hart continued his athletic success at the University of Regina, where he attended on a scholar-athlete scholarship as a member of the Cougars men’s volleyball team. Between 2001 and 2004, he established himself as one of the program’s standout athletes, earning Team MVP honours in both the 2002–2003 and 2003–2004 seasons. He continues to hold several individual match and season records with the Cougars.
After earning his Bachelor of Arts in Economics from the University of Regina in 2006, Hart returned to southeastern Saskatchewan to work in the oil and gas industry before pursuing his lifelong goal of becoming a lawyer. He attended the University of Saskatchewan College of Law, graduating with his Juris Doctor in 2010.
That same year, Hart joined Grey Wowk Spencer LLP as a Student-at-Law, completing his articles under Senior Partner Leighton Grey, K.C. He was called to the Alberta Bar in 2011 and has remained with the firm ever since, becoming a Partner and continuing to serve clients throughout Alberta.
Whether representing parents in family disputes, defending individuals facing criminal charges, or advocating in Child and Family Services matters, Hart is committed to providing clear guidance, practical solutions, and strong advocacy tailored to each client’s unique circumstances.
Outside the office, Hart continues to value the discipline, teamwork, and perseverance that shaped his athletic career—qualities that continue to influence his approach to both the practice of law and client service.
