Grant Szelewicki is a lawyer in our Calgary office with a focus on insurance, construction, and municipal law.

Grant completed his law and civil engineering degrees at the University of Alberta. Throughout the civil engineering program, he worked at three construction engineering companies. His role in each company ranged from assisting in coordinating a large construction site in Kitimat, British Columbia to estimating the cost of construction projects through architectural drawing analysis. 

Grant pursued law to help clients on a one-to-one basis and make their lives easier which brings him great gratification. His greatest strengths are internal and external (client) communication, file organization, and creative problem-solving.

Value to Clients

"I believe strong lawyer-client communication with a mindset focused on results is the best way to serve clients effectively."

Outside the Office

Outside of his legal career, Grant loves exploring new restaurants and cities. He also enjoys calculus, aurora-chasing, road trips, playing classical piano music, caring for cacti, and studying nuclear energy.
