Liam C. Kelly

Liam Kelly is a commercial litigator with a general civil litigation practice, focusing on commercial lease enforcement and real estate litigation. He is an active practitioner and passionate advocate for his clients, guided by his belief that effective advocacy should always consider resolution while actively pursuing legal remedies. Liam has appeared at all levels of Court in Alberta and before a number of quasi-judicial tribunals.

Liam is dedicated to giving back to the community. From 2012 to 2022, he volunteered at Metro Continuing Education, teaching “Law for the Layperson: Being a Residential Landlord”. Liam also served as the Chair of the Strathcona County Subdivision and Development Appeal Board and was a member of the Board from 2018 to 2023, either as Vice-Chair or Chair.

An enthusiastic educator, Liam has co-taught Advocacy 608 as a sessional instructor at the University of Alberta Law School since 2018. He enjoys helping the next generation of litigators build confidence in their advocacy skills. Liam is also a regular speaker on commercial lease enforcement for the Builder’s Owners Management Association (BOMA).

Outside of his legal practice, Liam is an active member of his community. He provides pro-bono legal work for a number of minor hockey associations.

Liam is a serial hobbyist, refusing to sit still except when learning about a new interest (just ask him about vintage espresso machines, vintage motorcycles, dehydrating food, camping, fishing… the list doesn’t end). A family man, Liam loves spending time with his wife, kids and comedic dog.
