What litigation lawyers in Calgary help with

Litigation lawyers act in civil disputes: contract and commercial claims, shareholder and partnership disputes, debt recovery and other cases that may end up in court or settled before trial.

Litigation law in Alberta: what to know

Alberta's Limitations Act sets a basic two-year limitation period for most claims, with exceptions. Speak to a lawyer early so that a deadline does not run out.

Civil disputes in Alberta are heard in the Provincial Court and the Court of King's Bench of Alberta.

How to choose a litigation lawyer in Calgary

  1. Confirm the lawyer is licensed and in good standing with the Law Society of Alberta.
  2. Ask how much of their practice is litigation, and how recent their experience is with cases like yours.
  3. Compare the Google rating together with the number of reviews, not the rating alone.
  4. Read recent reviews for comments on communication and responsiveness.
  5. Ask for the fee structure in writing before you sign, including what is billed separately.
  6. Meet with more than one firm if the matter is large, and trust the one that explains your options clearly.

Questions to ask at your first consultation

What to bring

How the process usually works

  1. The lawyer reviews your documents and explains your options.
  2. A demand letter or statement of claim (or defence) is prepared.
  3. Both sides exchange documents and information.
  4. Mediation or settlement talks often take place.
  5. If the case does not settle, it proceeds to trial and a decision.

Costs and fees

Litigation is most often billed hourly. Ask for a budget by stage, and what happens to fees if the case settles early. Ask about disbursements (third-party costs), taxes, and what happens if your matter changes in scope. Many firms offer a first consultation, but confirm whether it is free.
