Whether you, a member of your family or a friend requires advice or legal guidance in such diverse areas as adoption, prenuptial agreements, a real estate or mortgage transaction, the drafting of an estate plan, a will, an enduring power of attorney or a personal directive, the administration of the estate of a deceased family member, the improper termination of your employment, assistance in the midst of marriage breakdown, including separations and divorce, with their attendant issues of support, property division, custody and access, we are here to provide thoughtful, competent and practical advice at a reasonable cost. 
 
BUSINESS
For those beginning a business, or continuing to manage an existing business, we can assist with everything from the initial incorporation to the preparation of shareholders' agreements, the registration of financing documentation, the documentation of the sale or acquisition of shares or assets, the negotiation of leases, and the hiring and dismissal of employees.  We can also provide advice in the areas of account collection and the successful dissolution or winding up a business that is in financial difficulty, including receiverships and bankruptcy. 

REPRESENTATION IN COURT
We are particularly equipped to assist individuals or businesses that may have issues requiring representation in court, including personal injury or wrongful death, commercial or contractual disputes, insurance claims arising from property, automobile or disability contracts, or wrongful dismissal.  Our senior lawyers have many years of court experience, and have successfully advanced or defended claims in the Provincial Court of Alberta, the Court of Queen's Bench of Alberta, the Alberta Court of Appeal, the Tax Court of Canada and the Federal Court of Canada, as well as the in the courts of British Columbia and Saskatchewan.
 
We have also developed professional relationships with a number of individual professionals and firms that can provide specialized assistance in areas where we lack the experience or expertise to fully advise our clients, including such areas as criminal proceedings, collective agreements and bargaining, tax planning, intellectual property, the establishment of family trusts, immigration issues or representation before regulatory and administrative tribunals.  We are able to confidently refer a client with a problem that requires training or experience that we are not equipped to handle to someone with competence in such matters, and to continue to provide assistance in coordinating a practical, cost effective solution to a particular problem with the assistance of third party professionals who are skilled in areas requiring specialize knowledge or expertise.
 
We are committed to dealing with all areas of our practice, whether the provision of legal advice, our personal interaction with you, or the billing for our services, with integrity and candour.  We are committed to providing regular communication on all aspects of your legal concerns and will be forthright in dealing with any issues that might emerge, so that you have the best possible basis on which to make your legal decisions and to provide us with instructions, based on full disclosure of both the legal implications and any practical considerations that we feel are involved in achieving the most beneficial results possible, given your individual circumstances.
