   J.E. Brownlee's law practice was interrupted in 1921 when he became Attorney-General of the Province of Alberta, and later its fifth Premier, from 1925 to 1934. Undoubtedly his greatest achievement as Premier was negotiating the transfer of ownership of Alberta's natural resources from the federal to the provincial government. He re-established his law practice in 1935, taking offices in the Imperial Bank Building in downtown Edmonton. Greatly assisted by the continuing loyalty of the agricultural, municipal and business communities, he quickly re-built his career.

   Brownlee also wrote a regular legal advice column, and was a popular keynote speaker. Brownlee's strong work ethic, dedication to community and public service, and commitment to legal writing and speaking have become part of the present firm's tradition.

   By then J.E. Brownlee had moved to Calgary to assume an executive post with the United Grain Growers, and so Alan Brownlee took over the operation of the Edmonton office.
