Walsh LLP was established in Calgary in 1959 by Thomas Walsh, who went on to serve as a bencher of the Law Society of Alberta and as president of the Canadian Bar Association. The firm has offices in Calgary, Canmore, Claresholm, Okotoks and Stand Off, and says it has worked with almost every Alberta industry for over 60 years.
Walsh describes a people-first approach that runs from farm and family law to corporate and commercial work and civil litigation, and its services also include wills and estates, real estate, municipal, regulatory and public law, and First Nations law. It calls itself a mid-sized firm, and it has the largest Google review count of the Alberta firms listed here. Typically suits families, farms and small and mid-sized businesses.
Alberta starts from a presumption of equal sharing, but not everything is on the table. How exempt property, business value and farm assets are treated.
Read the LawDB guideGeneral guidance for this kind of matter, not advice about your situation and not specific to this firm.
Family matters are usually billed hourly against a retainer. Ask what the retainer covers, whether court applications are budgeted separately, and how you will be updated on the running total.
Marriage or cohabitation dates, a list of assets and debts, recent income information for both partners, any existing agreements or court orders, and details of the children’s schedules. In Alberta a divorce is granted by the Court of King’s Bench, while some parenting and support matters can also be heard in the Alberta Court of Justice. If farmland or a family business is part of the picture, mention it at the start, since it changes how property is valued and divided.
