Bryan & Company
Bryan & Company traces its roots in Alberta to 1928, and we have grown to be a full-service firm with more than 40 plus lawyers in the Province’s capital city, Edmonton. We offer the full breadth of services to our clients, no matter what their legal needs might require.

We service nearly every industry, including banking, finance, energy, manufacturing, construction, and real estate development. In addition to our strong corporate/commercial practice, we are skilled advocates. Our lawyers have appeared at all levels of court in Western Canada and before the Supreme Court of Canada. We are a firm grounded in our Albertan roots, but we can serve our clients across the country, as many of our lawyers are members of other provincial bars, and they have practiced in other provinces, enabling us to serve clients in a number of jurisdictions across Canada.
