Alberta’s history is rich with a strong, pioneering spirit.

We’ve been along for the entire ride. Through it all, we’ve seen and shared in our clients’ dedication to enrich the province by supporting our communities. 

Bishop & McKenzie’s lawyers are active members of their communities. They volunteer with many organizations and initiatives including arts boards, sports groups (able-bodies, disabled and Paralympic), professional, civic and municipal agencies.
