Stillman LLP

What Stillman LLP does

Stillman LLP is a privately held Edmonton, Alberta-based general practice law firm organized as a limited liability partnership. Founded in 1989 by I. Mark Stillman and Terry M. McGregor (originally as McGregor Stillman, rebranded to Stillman LLP in 2008), the firm operates a single office in West Edmonton's Sterling Business Centre and serves both individual and commercial clients throughout Alberta and most of Canada, with occasional international matters from clients in Ireland, France, Austria, South Africa, and the United States. As of the available roster it fields roughly 14-18 active lawyers across ten practice areas: business law, civil litigation, construction law, employment law, estate litigation, family law, personal injury, real estate law, wills and estates, and professional regulatory law.

The firm bills on a professional services model, primarily through hourly fees and retainers set per matter at intake, with no publicly disclosed pricing. Its go-to-market is sales-led and relationship-driven: clients reach the firm via direct phone, email, and in-person consultation at the Edmonton headquarters, with top-of-funnel demand generated through regular blog content and the long-running LegalEye newsletter. The firm emphasizes a "team approach" in which more than one lawyer typically has visibility into a file, and it markets itself as a community-engaged West Edmonton firm with active board, sponsorship, and pro bono involvement.

Stillman LLP has no external funding, no parent company, and no proprietary technology platform; it is owned and controlled by its partner lawyers. Its growth has been driven organically and through lateral and partner-level talent moves, most notably the October 2017 merger with Lovatt LLP, the January 2025 admission of Erin Vanderveen as partner, and the June 2026 addition of senior commercial counsel Richard Ferguson. Privacy compliance is anchored in PIPEDA and Alberta's PIPA framework, with Erik L. Bruveris designated as privacy contact.
