EDMONTON — Former Alberta premier Rachel Notley is returning to her legal roots, joining western Canadian law firm Southern Butler Price.

Notley, who was the NDP premier from 2015 to 2019, resigned her seat at the end of 2024 after close to 17 years in the legislature.

She was a labour lawyer before entering politics.

Notley says she's "thrilled" to join Southern Butler Price, which offers workplace-related services like mediation, arbitration and workplace investigations.

The firm says Notley's previous experience as a lawyer and her record as an elected official aligns with its mission and practice.

It says Notley will take cases related to conflict resolution, leadership and governance, and more.
