What We Do

A Team Approach

Our lawyers, paralegals, and administrative staff work in concert to provide effective and prompt service. Every member of our firm is fully engaged in serving our clients within their area of capability and expertise. Clients know that they can contact our team members for assistance at any time.

Wills & Estates

Karen M. Rackel, KC, is one of the leading Wills and Estates practitioners in the province of Alberta. An up-to-date estate plan is the best gift which an individual can give to his or her family. We develop estate plans which include Wills, Enduring Power of Attorneys, Personal Directives, Supported Decision-Making Forms and Inter Vivos Trusts. We work collaboratively with financial advisers to determine the goals, and decide the process by which these goals can be achieved, taking into consideration the costs and complexity.

We provide assistance on estate administration. We can obtain grants of probate or administration in an efficient fashion and guide personal representatives through all stages of the estate administration.

Our Wills & Estates team members are Karen M. Rackel, KC and Anna-May Choles.

Dispute Resolution & Litigation

Where litigation cannot be avoided, we ensure that our clients have the highest level of representation. We know that our clients want thorough knowledge, preparation, experience, and resources at their disposal in litigation and alternative dispute processes.

Our firm is fully committed to investing in the technology infrastructure that is critical to modern litigation. All of our cases are fully digitized and readily accessible by our lawyers in this format, ensuring that clients save money and time that would otherwise be wasted by organizing and handling paper-based files.
