Mathieu Maillet obtained his Juris Doctor from the University of Alberta in 2019, following a Bachelor of Commerce with distinction, majoring in finance and minoring in economics. With this strong foundation in finance and economics, Mathieu focuses his legal practice on matters involving businesses, farms, complex investments, and high-conflict situations.
Mathieu has extensive experience in high-conflict and protracted litigation on all issues of parenting, support, property division, and personal protection. He is particularly skilled in navigating cases involving complex corporate structures, large farming operations, and significant investment portfolios, where financial sophistication and strategic thinking are essential.
In addition to litigation, Mathieu specializes in preparing family trusts, prenuptial and cohabitation agreements, and structuring family businesses to protect wealth and ensure clarity in relationships. His approach combines practical legal advice with a deep understanding of financial and business dynamics, making him a trusted advisor for clients with intricate personal and commercial interests.
While Mathieu emphasizes negotiated, out-of-court resolutions, he is fully prepared to litigate when necessary. He remains current in his field through continuing education, active involvement with the Canadian Bar Association, and by teaching Family Law at Grant MacEwan University. His commitment to access to justice is demonstrated through past volunteer work with the Edmonton Community Legal Centre and contributions to LawNow magazine.
Mathieu’s goal is to help individuals navigate what can be a stressful life transition, ensuring they fully understand their legal position and options for resolution.
Outside of work, Mathieu enjoys rock climbing, backpacking, hiking, biking, soccer, cooking, travel, and gardening.
