MAIN STREET LAW LLP EXPANDS |
|
Main Street Law LLP has expanded by acquiring the office building formerly occupied by Seal & Bedard Accountants at 203 Church Road. This is in addition to the Main Street Law offices at #12, 119 First Avenue bringing their total office space in Spruce Grove alone to over 16,000 SF. Main Street Law also added another location in 2021 as they expanded their reach to Drayton Valley with a satellite office, and they have had a satellite office in Edmonton on 124th Street since 2008.
Their existing, purpose-built office building on First Avenue opened in November 2019 with a total area of 12,000 SF. This new building was designed from the beginning to create a collaborative working environment for lawyers, clients, and staff. However, growth has outpaced the space available, leading to the acquisition of the Church Road building, which adds another 4,200 SF of office space. The new space has been designated for Litigation Services in Civil Litigation and Family Law.
Main Street Law currently has 45 employees, consisting of lawyers, associates, and support staff. As of now, they have 14 lawyers altogether, and are expecting to have 20-25 lawyers serving their community in the years to come once the latest expansion is complete.
"Main Street Law currently services approximately 10,000 individual, family, and owner-operated business clients. Our clients come to us because of our competence, effectiveness, professionalism, and courteous manner."
- Frank DeAngelis, Lawyer
