Litigation is at the centre of the practice, and 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 Alberta Court of Justice at the Calgary Courts Centre, and litigation is accepted only for matters proceeding through that courthouse. All other work, including preparation, advisory services, and client meetings, is conducted via secure video for clients across Alberta. 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 family and property disputes, intimate partner violence claims, contested estates, shareholder and business disputes, defamation and reputation matters, harassment and privacy claims, intellectual property and creative disputes, sports and entertainment matters, and professional discipline 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.
