Andrea M. Steen

Andrea Steen, a seasoned civil litigator, focuses on debt collection and foreclosures. Quickly becoming a leading lawyer in her field, Andrea’s expertise extends to representing both financial institutions and private lenders in matters of mortgage enforcement (both residential and commercial), unsecured debt collection and judgment enforcement, including commercial and small business loans. With a broad geographic practice area that spans Alberta, the Northwest Territories, and Nunavut, she regularly advocates for her clients in Court in all three regions.

Beyond her litigation practice, Andrea is deeply committed to her community. She serves on the Board of Directors for Edmonton’s Fringe Theatre and is an active volunteer with Pro Bono Law Alberta. She is an executive member of the Canadian Bar Association (CBA) Creditor/Debtor sub-section and frequently mentors first-year law students and junior lawyers through the CBA Mentor Program. Recognized for her expertise, she is also a frequent speaker at seminars on civil procedure and judgment enforcement for the Legal Education Society of Alberta, and on foreclosures for the CBA. Within the firm, Andrea is co-chair of Witten’s Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion Committee, and also serves on the firm’s Articling Committee.

Outside the courtroom, Andrea is passionate about supporting local business, indie music, traveling, learning about dinosaurs, and she cherishes time spent with her partner and their young family (but not necessarily in that order).
