Edmonton is Alberta’s capital, and its firms cluster around 101 Street NW and Jasper Avenue. Several trace their history in the city back more than a century, including McLennan Ross (founded in 1903), Duncan Craig (1894) and, in Edmonton, Field Law and Reynolds Mirth Richards & Farmer (both rooted in 1915). Many act for municipalities, utilities, school boards and post-secondary institutions as well as for private businesses and individuals.

The Law Society of Alberta regulates lawyers in the province and lets the public look up whether a lawyer is entitled to practise. Check a lawyer’s standing there before you hire them, whichever firm they work for.
It depends on the kind of matter. Wills, simple real estate closings and some business tasks are often flat-fee. Litigation and family matters are usually hourly against a retainer. Personal injury lawyers commonly act on contingency, so ask whether their percentage is calculated before or after disbursements. Get the arrangement in writing.
For most civil claims the general limitation period is two years from the date the claim was discovered, with a longer outer limit, and some claims have shorter or different deadlines. If you think you may have a claim, speak to a lawyer promptly rather than waiting.
Legal Aid Alberta helps eligible people with some criminal, family and civil matters. Some firms also offer a short first consultation, so it is worth asking before you assume a call will be billed.
Most civil disputes start in the Court of King’s Bench of Alberta or, for smaller claims, the civil division of the Alberta Court of Justice. Most criminal charges begin in the Alberta Court of Justice, and more serious matters can be heard in the Court of King’s Bench. Appeals go to the Court of Appeal of Alberta.
