What Kuefler Stevenson Bennett LLP does

Kuefler Stevenson Bennett LLP (KSB Lawyers) is a Calgary-based multi-practice law firm operating as an Alberta Limited Liability Partnership. Founded in its current form in 2015 when Nancy-Lynn (Nan) Stevenson joined the existing practice of Quinn M. Kuefler and Darius L. Bennett — who had practiced together since 2009 — the firm delivers legal services across five core service areas: Wills and Estates, Employment Law, Business Law, Family Law, and Real Estate Law, plus additional specialized practices including Business Litigation, Bank Litigation and Risk Management, Corporate/Commercial Law, Creditor's Rights and Collections, Construction Law, and Personal Injury. The firm's work spans transactional matters (incorporations, shareholder agreements, commercial conveyancing), advisory work (estate planning, business succession), and litigation/dispute resolution across provincial and federal courts. The firm is supported by Associate Counsel Ivan Bernardo, K.C., whose prior experience as a national-firm equity partner and Co-Chair of its National Health Group extends KSB's capabilities into health, constitutional, and privacy law. Ivan Bernardo has made submissions before the Supreme Court of Canada and was awarded King's Counsel in 2014.

The firm is headquartered in Elveden House, an iconic Calgary building on the downtown skyline since 1960. The team consists of three partners and approximately five total personnel, with the partners collectively bringing over 100 years of combined legal experience to bear on files handled directly — the firm explicitly markets a "no bureaucracy" model where clients deal with the lawyers handling their work rather than intermediaries. Its revenue model is conventional professional services billing (hourly or fixed fees on a matter-by-matter basis), anchored by a free initial consultation used to assess fit and scope; pricing beyond that is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. The go-to-market combines direct client acquisition through the Calgary office (phone, email, website contact forms) with content marketing via an educational blog, SEO-optimized articles across all practice areas, an email newsletter, and client testimonials published on the website. KSB serves two primary segments: small businesses in Alberta seeking cost-effective corporate, commercial, and employment-related legal support, and Calgary-area families and individuals seeking wills/estates planning, family law, residential real estate, and personal-injury representation. The firm is privately held by its partners, with no external investors, parent company, or subsidiaries identified. As of June 30, 2025, founding Managing Partner Quinn M. Kuefler retired after more than 40 years at the Alberta Bar, leaving Darius L. Bennett and Nancy-Lynn Stevenson as the continuing equity partners.
