Understanding Litigation in Alberta

Litigation in Alberta typically follows a structured process. While each case is different, the general steps include:

  1. 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.

  2. Pre-litigation — Where appropriate, we pursue demand letters, negotiation, and mediation to resolve disputes before court proceedings are necessary.

  3. Pleadings — We draft and file statements of claim, statements of defence, and other court documents that clearly frame the legal issues.

  4. Questioning and discovery — We conduct examinations for discovery and obtain relevant documents to build the evidentiary foundation of your case.

  5. Mediation and settlement — Most cases resolve before trial. We pursue mediated and negotiated outcomes that reflect the strength of your position.

  6. Trial — When settlement is not possible, we present your case at trial with thorough preparation and effective courtroom advocacy.
