Our History

Rackel & Company LLP is a trusted name in legal services with a proud history that dates back to 1965. Founded by Donald J. Buchanan, KC, and Bernard D. Lavallee, KC, former law school classmates, the firm initially called Lavallee Buchanan had an office in Edmonton’s west end – one of the first local firms to break the trend of downtown offices.

From the founding partners to our current leadership, we remain dedicated to the principles of professionalism and service that have defined our firm since 1965. Our history is a testament to the trust and loyalty of our clients, and we look forward to continuing to serve them for generations to come.
