The Honourable Kelechi (Kaycee) Madu, KC, ECA

CEO and Managing Lawyer

Kaycee Madu represented Edmonton-South West as a Member of the Legislative Assembly of Alberta (MLA). Kaycee served in several ministerial portfolios, including Alberta’s Deputy Premier, Ministers of Skilled Trades and Professions, Labour and Immigration, Justice, Solicitor General, Attorney General and Municipal Affairs.

In these roles, Kaycee initiated several consequential policies that led to the passage and implementation of key pieces of legislation, such as banning carding, overhaul and inclusion of First Nation’s policing in the Police Act, the establishment of the independent Police Complaint Review Commission. On the economic files, Kaycee worked with municipal leaders in implementation of $1.1 billion in municipal infrastructure renewal projects that kept local economies functioning during the economic slowdown caused by the global pandemic. He advanced numerous other economic files that resulted in billions of dollars in investment to Alberta. 

Kaycee began his career as a State Counsel with the Ministry of Justice and Legal Aid Council, Borno State, Nigeria. He worked on matters that ranged from criminal prosecution research and public defence of mostly unrepresented accused persons, and anti-poverty law related litigation. Kaycee then proceeded to Lagos where he joined the firm of T.J. Onomigbo Okpoko and Co. as an Associate Lawyer focused on commercial litigation, arbitration and corporate law. Later, Kaycee worked with the University of Alberta Hospital, Legal Aid Alberta, and the Government of Alberta specializing in strategic and operational public policy. Kaycee worked briefly with Bosecke Song LLP before establishing his law practice with a focus on commercial and labour and employment law litigation, corporate law, real estate, divorce and matrimonial property.

Kaycee earned an LL. B (JD) Honours Degree from the University of Lagos and was called to the Nigerian Bar. Subsequently, Kaycee obtained his equivalency in law from the Federation of Law Societies of Canada and admitted to the Law Society of Alberta. Kaycee was awarded Queen’s Counsel in 2020 (now known as King’s Counsel).
