What Sharek Logan & van Leenen LLP does

Sharek Logan & van Leenen LLP, operating commercially as Sharek & Co., is a private Edmonton-based full-service law firm structured as a limited liability partnership. From a single office at #2100, 10060 Jasper Avenue NW in downtown Edmonton, the firm delivers legal services across nine practice areas: personal injury, estate planning (wills, enduring powers of attorney, personal directives, estate administration), condominium law (governance, enforcement, developer transactions, litigation), residential and commercial real estate, business law (formation, M&A, corporate finance, governance, contracts), civil litigation (insurance, construction, administrative tribunals, commercial/corporate/government), creditor protection and recovery (including a specialized cannabis industry insolvency and restructuring offering), municipal and administrative law, and guardianship and trusteeship under Alberta's AGTA. The firm markets itself under the DBA "Sharek & Co." and serves individual consumers, SMEs, condo boards and developers, municipalities, school boards, non-profit associations, insurance companies, and lenders across Alberta, British Columbia, the Northwest Territories, and Nunavut, led by Managing Partner David van Leenen and a team of 12+ named lawyers including partners Jonathan McCully, Pierre Blais, and Counsel David Archibold.

The firm operates a traditional professional services revenue model with no proprietary technology product. Pricing is a mix of flat-fee and hourly billing, with publicly disclosed rates for the highest-volume matters: estate planning packages range from C$575 (single Will + EPA or PD) to C$950 (couples' Will + EPA + PD); residential real estate purchases run C$1,050–C$1,100 + GST plus approximately C$450 in disbursements and Land Titles registration fees; residential sales are C$900 + GST plus roughly C$350 in disbursements. An online real estate transaction cost calculator is offered to support self-service estimates.

Distribution is sales-led through direct in-person and virtual consultations, professional referrals from real estate agents and mortgage brokers, SEO-optimized website content (including published articles on COVID-19 legal issues, estate planning, and condo governance), and community engagement such as monthly support for the Edmonton Food Bank. The firm holds no patents, trademarks, certifications, or external partnerships, and has no disclosed funding, M&A, or parent company relationships — it is a standalone partner-owned LLP with no venture or institutional ownership.
