Firm Background

McLennan Ross is a well established law firm committed to serving the legal needs of Albertans and Northerners. Founded over 100 years ago, McLennan Ross has grown today to more than 65 lawyers and an extensive support staff, with offices in Edmonton, Calgary and Yellowknife.

Featuring the largest and most experienced management-side Labour & Employment practice group in Alberta and the North, one of the West's premier Litigation groups and a solid team of Corporate Commercial Securities professionals, McLennan Ross has a reputation for client service excellence and substantial experience and expertise in a number of practice areas.

Over the years, McLennan Ross and its legal professionals have been involved in numerous landmark cases, at all levels of the Canadian judicial system including the Supreme Court of Canada. The outcomes of these cases have often had a profound effect on the legal framework in which many businesses operate today.

Led by senior partners Rod McLennan, Q.C. (recognized by LEXPERT magazine as one of the Top 25 Commercial Litigators in Canada) and Dave Ross, Q.C. (Alberta's most experienced labour and employment lawyer), McLennan Ross lawyers are capable of providing assistance on just about any legal issue in a cost effective and efficient manner.

What separates McLennan Ross from other law firms is our ability to see "beyond the law" - recognizing and appreciating how legal difficulties can significantly impact a client's life and their business. Strategic thinking, grounded in a solid understanding of the realities of the business world and basic common sense, is a hallmark of McLennan Ross.

McLennan Ross clients include businesses of all sizes, from virtually every sector of the economy, along with individuals, not-for-profit organizations and governments. These clients reside and conduct business throughout Western Canada, the North and around the world.

Our success comes from the results we secure on behalf of our clients, and that continues to be the measure of our firm and our people.
