Litigation in Alberta typically follows a structured process. While each case is different, the general steps include:
-
Case assessment — We review the facts, documentation, and applicable law to assess the strength of your position and advise on the best course of action.
-
Pre-litigation — Where appropriate, we pursue demand letters, negotiation, and mediation to resolve disputes before court proceedings are necessary.
-
Pleadings — We draft and file statements of claim, statements of defence, and other court documents that clearly frame the legal issues.
-
Questioning and discovery — We conduct examinations for discovery and obtain relevant documents to build the evidentiary foundation of your case.
-
Mediation and settlement — Most cases resolve before trial. We pursue mediated and negotiated outcomes that reflect the strength of your position.
-
Trial — When settlement is not possible, we present your case at trial with thorough preparation and effective courtroom advocacy.

We provide clear advice on the merits of your case, realistic assessments of outcomes, and a focused strategy designed to protect your interests.
