Our History

The year is 1975; Fort McMurray is just a small town in Alberta with barely a population of 6000, the infamous oil sands projects are still just a dream, Highway 63 is not even fully paved and the community is not quite prospering as of yet.  Two young lawyers by the names of Robert Campbell and Adam Germain working out of Edmonton decided to take a chance in Fort McMurray envisioning a successful law firm in a growing community and the legacy of what is now known as Campbell & Cooper begins.

Throughout the years, the firm of Campbell & Cooper has employed a number of prominent lawyers and currently has 7 lawyers providing a wide range of legal services from civil litigation, family law, wills and estates and real estate, to name a few. 

Terrence A. Cooper, Q.C. started at the firm in 1980 as an articling student at the time and later joined as partner.  “What we have is a firm with deep roots, philosophy, and a connection to the community.  We want the lawyers with our firm to be involved in the community.”

Members of the firm have spent years playing positive roles in the community involved in sponsoring organizations such as United Way, the Fort McMurray Oil Barons, the music festival and Hospital Foundation to name a few.

Campbell & Cooper is more than just a law firm, it is a part of Fort McMurray history and continues to be there for your every legal need.
