Osler is a national business law firm with offices in Toronto, Montréal, Calgary, Vancouver, Ottawa and New York. Its Calgary office is in Brookfield Place on 6th Avenue SW, and in a 2021 interview the office’s managing partner said most of its lawyers are from Western Canada.
Energy anchors the Calgary practice: Osler’s national Energy Group is ranked Band 1 in Chambers Canada, and the office acts on oil and gas, LNG, power and renewable projects. The same office points to depth in technology, emerging and high-growth companies, and agribusiness. In 2025 the firm added two energy M&A partners in Calgary. Typically suits companies, investors and institutions with complex transactions.
Alberta’s Prompt Payment and Construction Lien Act, in force since August 2022, added payment timelines and adjudication to the lien system. What owners, contractors and subs should know.
