What Emery Jamieson does

Emery Jamieson LLP is a private, full-service law firm headquartered in Edmonton, Alberta, with a second southside Edmonton office and 51-100 employees. Founded in 1893 (130+ year history), the firm operates as a Limited Liability Partnership and delivers legal services across 20+ practice areas organized under three umbrellas: Corporate Law, Personal Representation, and Government & Administrative Law. Practice areas include administrative law, bankruptcy and insolvency, commercial litigation, commercial real estate, construction law, creditor remedies, employment and labour, entertainment law, environmental law, family law, Indigenous law, insurance, intellectual property, mediation and arbitration, municipal law, personal injury, privacy law, professional liability, professional regulatory, real estate, and wills and estates. The firm is a member of Lawyers Associated Worldwide (LAW), providing access to 100+ member firms across 50+ countries for international client needs.

The firm serves three primary client segments — individuals, businesses (including SMB and mid-market), and government/administrative bodies — using a traditional sales-led go-to-market approach built on direct client consultations, referrals, community involvement, and content marketing through a blog/news section, LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, and email newsletter. The underlying technology stack is described generically as a "general legal practice management and client service platform" with no disclosed proprietary AI/ML features or developer-facing APIs.

Emery Jamieson bills clients on a professional services model — hourly rates, fixed fees for defined services, or contingency arrangements depending on practice area — with an online payment portal (minimum $25) supporting invoiced amounts. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. The firm has no outside institutional investors, no parent company, and no public listing; ownership rests with its partners. In 2025, the firm executed inorganic growth via a merger with Kirwin LLP and an acquisition of Majeski & Company, and its partners have received regional and national recognition including a King Charles III Coronation Medal and the presidency of the Canadian Bar Association (Alberta Branch).
