Litigation in Alberta

Keystone Legal represents clients across Alberta in contested proceedings, and litigation is at the centre of the practice. Every file is built to be proven, with disciplined preparation, command of the record, and a clear strategy for trial. The firm appears before the Alberta Court of King’s Bench and the Court of Justice, with court attendance at the Calgary Courts Centre and most other work conducted via secure video across the province. Services are available in English and French.

Resolution is pursued where it serves the client, through negotiation, mediation, or settlement. The difference is preparation: a file readied for trial from the outset is the file that resolves on fair terms, because the other side understands it will be proven if it has to be. Clients receive the same standard of work whether a matter settles at the table or
proceeds to a hearing.

Litigation files span the firm’s practice areas, including high-asset family and property disputes, intimate partner violence claims, contested estates, shareholder and business disputes, defamation and reputation matters, professional discipline, and employment and regulatory proceedings. Many involve financial complexity, disclosure and income determination issues, or asset tracing, and the firm coordinates with financial and other professionals where a matter calls for it.

Each engagement begins with a candid assessment of the merits, the exposure, and the realistic range of outcomes, so clients can make informed decisions before significant cost is incurred.
