Field Law has a rich history dating back to 1915. Our firm values of collegiality, integrity, and professional excellence guide our daily operations and relationships with clients and colleagues. The heart of our firm is grounded on mutual support, positivity and respect in all its forms. We are committed to the continuous development of skills and knowledge to best serve our clients.
Field Law is one of western and northern Canada’s premier law firms, with a reputation for outstanding client service and high ethical standards. We represent a large and diverse group of clients through our team of over 130 lawyers and more than 200 staff in four offices in Calgary, Canmore, Edmonton and Yellowknife.
Field Law provides a workplace where you can achieve professional excellence within supportive teams, all while enjoying the flexibility of a hybrid work environment. We are committed to caring for our employees and encourage them to prioritize their well-being through our comprehensive benefits and extended health plans. We understand that maintaining a vibrant family, social, and recreational life is essential for long-term career success.
Field Law is deeply committed to equality and diversity, fostering an inclusive workplace with a balanced gender ratio and diverse leadership. Our progressive policies include maternity and parental Leave, flexible work arrangements, alternative career paths, and robust equality and diversity policies.
Our Diversity, Equity, + Inclusion (DEI) Committee actively promotes inclusivity throughout the firm. Our intranet features DEI resources, including educational videos and programs like our DEI Advocate Program. We sponsor OUTLaw programs at UCalgary and UAlberta law schools and participate in local Firm Hops and the Law Society of Alberta Indigenous Summer Student Program. Field Law has also been recognized for successfully completing SCG Legal’s Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Advocate™ Certification Program after a year-long process that advanced the firm’s focus on DEI initiatives across all areas of the firm but specifically on recruitment, reconciliation, inclusion and belonging.
Field Law's commitment to a supportive and inclusive environment is reflected in our Universum ranking as a top ten place to work for law students in Canada in 2024. Field Law is one of only two regional firms listed in the top 20 and one of just three law firms in the top ten. This recognition underscores our dedication to being an employer of choice, particularly for those at the start of their legal careers.
Field Law is well known for our diversity in the legal industry. We have over 130 lawyers, almost half whom are female, and continue to support equal hiring in legal positions. In 2019, Field Law was awarded the Law Firm Award at the Women in Law Leadership Awards, presented by The Counsel Network and The Association of Women Lawyers. The Law Firm Award is presented to a firm operating in Alberta that best demonstrates leadership in fostering an inclusive environment for female lawyers.
