What We Do

 

Our firm

Our firm is an association of independent practitioners formed over twenty-five years ago. Most of our lawyers, after practicing with larger firms, chose to join a boutique law firm serving downtown Calgary. The advantage we believe Wilson Laycraft offers is that clients have access to senior experienced counsel in an approachable small firm environment. Trained and competent staff provide essential support to our lawyers and to our clients in a friendly and professional manner.

 

Our clients

We provide consultation in areas of corporate law, commercial law, securities law, purchase and sale of businesses, taxation, oil and gas law, and divorce and family law. Our solicitors approach our clients’ needs from a business development position, as well as from a legal perspective. Our litigation team has extensive experience in resolving shareholder disagreements, regulatory hearings, workers’ compensation matters, construction disputes, leasing litigation, parenting, child and spousal support, and property division.
