Snyder & Associates LLP

What Snyder & Associates LLP does

Snyder & Associates LLP is an independent, full-service law firm headquartered in downtown Edmonton, Alberta (3500 National Bank Centre, 10180-101 Street NW), serving individual and business clients across Western Canada and internationally for over five decades since its 1974 founding. The firm operates across twelve practice areas — International Commercial Transactions, Business Services, Litigation, Family Law, Real Estate Transactions, Immigration, Personal Injury, Wills & Estates, Tax Law, Employment Law, Bankruptcy & Insolvency, and Intellectual Property — providing integrated legal counsel where matters often span multiple practice areas. The team comprises approximately 11-50 staff including two partners (Managing Partner Stephen Snyder and Partner Sammy Binder), two senior associates, two paralegals (corporate and conveyancing), students-at-law, and a legal assistant, with annual recruitment of 2-3 articling students supporting the talent pipeline.

The firm generates revenue through professional legal fees structured as billable hours or fixed fees per matter; specific fee schedules are not publicly disclosed. Its go-to-market is direct-to-client through phone (toll-free and local), website contact forms, and in-person consultations. The client base spans individual clients (family law, immigration, personal injury, wills & estates, employment), corporate clients (chartered banks, trust companies, land developers, software/technology companies, construction/manufacturing firms, oil and gas service companies), and a referral channel from accountants seeking tax and estate planning for their clients. Senior Paralegal Andrew Sementchev manages over 1,000 corporate clients registered in various jurisdictions, and Conveyancing Paralegal Charleen Lund brings over 35 years of real estate transaction experience. Multi-language capabilities (English, Romanian, Russian, Hindi, Punjabi, Persian/Farsi, Arabic) and Stephen Snyder's international expertise across France, Germany, Poland, Russia, China, the Middle East, and the UK position the firm to serve immigrant families and international commercial clients. The firm previously operated a Hong Kong satellite office that supported Canada-bound emigration and outbound Alberta business activity, and continues to draw on the international network of bankers, lawyers, and business contacts developed through that presence.
