Founded over a century ago, with offices in Edmonton and Calgary, Parlee McLaws LLP offers comprehensive legal advice and counsel to clients whose interests span a wide range of businesses, industries and jurisdictions. The firm is one of the largest regional law firms in Alberta, with over 100 lawyers who operate as an integrated unit in both major cities in the Province.

The firm's lawyers offer in-depth knowledge and services in diversified practice areas that mirror their clients' industries and legal needs. This includes one of the largest and most respected commercial litigation and insurance defense practices in Alberta, as well as a complement of corporate commercial services involving business law, natural resources, intellectual property, banking and financial services, real estate, taxation and wealth management. The firm is particularly well known for its involvement in sectors such as mining and minerals, retail law, biosciences, oil & gas-related tax and securities law, product liability, aboriginal business and litigation, aviation law, patent and trade-mark portfolio management and prosecution, and mass tort litigation.

Many of the firm's lawyers have been awarded the highly respected Queen's Counsel designation by the Province of Alberta, and several lawyers have earned AV ratings in Martindale-Hubbell and similar ratings in Canada's lawyer rating guide, Lexpert.
