Jason Kully is a partner in our Edmonton office with a practice focused on professional regulation, labour and employment, and administrative law. He helps a wide range of clients - including professional regulatory organizations, post-secondary institutions, and businesses of all sizes - navigate legal and strategic issues.

Jason has represented clients at all levels of court in Alberta and regularly appears before administrative tribunals, such as the Alberta Labour Relations Board, the Alberta Human Rights Commission, and the Office of the Information and Privacy Commissioner.

Jason acts as legal advisor to professional regulators across many professions, helping them address issues like professional misconduct, privacy and registration matters, unauthorized practice, and regulatory governance. In addition to his advisory work, Jason presents discipline cases before tribunals and has served as independent legal counsel to those tribunals. His deep understanding of the regulatory landscape is reflected in his co-authorship of two legal texts:

  • The Law of Regulatory Investigations in Canada, co-authored with Jim Casey, KC and Michelle Casey - a text that explores the legal complexities of investigations across different professions.
  • The Annotated Health Professions Act, co-authored with Jim Casey, KC, Katrina Haymond, KC, and Gregory Sim - a practical guide for legal counsel and Alberta’s health profession regulators.

Jason works extensively with Alberta universities and other post-secondary institutions. He advises on governance, institutional policies, employment matters, human rights, legislative compliance, and labour relations. He has served as a spokesperson during collective bargaining and supports clients throughout the negotiation and administration of collective agreements.

In his labour and employment practice, Jason provides practical, strategic advice on issues such as:

  • Employee discipline, terminations, and layoffs
  • Drafting and revising employment agreements
  • Developing workplace policies and procedures
  • Managing privacy breaches and data protection
  • Supporting internal workplace investigations
  • Navigating unionized environments and collective bargaining

Jason is a member of Field Law’s Workplace Investigations Group, and has completed trauma-informed investigation training. He also regularly delivers training workshops on regulatory processes, workplace investigations, and employment law.

Earlier in his career, Jason served as a judicial clerk at the Alberta Court of King’s Bench, an experience that strengthened his advocacy skills and courtroom insight. Although based in Edmonton, he serves clients throughout Alberta.

Jason is also dedicated to legal education and community service. He teaches human rights law at the University of Alberta Faculty of Law and was awarded the Pringle/Royal Sessional Teaching Excellence Award in 2025. Jason also provides pro bono assistance to Student Legal Services of Edmonton, supporting its Human Rights Project.
