Since our early beginnings as a law firm in the late 1800s, we have been dedicated to serving clients in Medicine Hat and the surrounding area. Our firm has been home to many distinguished lawyers and notable community leaders.
One of our most notable alumni is Ivan C. Rand, who was a partner at our firm from 1912 to 1920. Rand was later appointed to the Supreme Court of Canada in 1943, where he became one of our country's most important jurists and legal scholars.
James M. Pritchard joined the firm of Niblock, Stone & Rand in 1954. Over the years, the firm underwent several name changes before eventually becoming Pritchard & Co. Law Firm, LLP.
