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.
