Who We Are

Our legal team provides highly skilled and effective litigation and dispute resolution services to its clients. We have built a strong reputation for successful advocacy and achieve superior, effective results. Our firm is comprised of a dedicated team of lawyers from diverse backgrounds who provide litigation advice and associated services to individuals, corporations and institutions from Alberta, throughout Canada, and around the world

The Firm was founded in 1994 to service the litigation needs of the Calgary legal and business communities. The creation and development of the Firm was the vision of its most senior founding partner, J. Patrick Peacock, QC (Retired). For more than 50 years, Pat distinguished himself as one of Alberta’s premiere litigation and dispute resolution counsel. In addition to maintaining a stellar reputation as an outstanding advocate, Pat was dedicated to the profession, serving as National President of the Canadian Bar Association. A model of professionalism and civility, Pat’s presence and renowned sense of humour were welcomed by colleagues, adversaries and the judiciary alike. In keeping with Pat’s vision, a significant part of the work we do originates from other law firms who recognize that our highly skilled and litigation-focused team will serve their clients’ litigation needs in circumstances (such as conflicts of interest) where they cannot act themselves.

The confidence in our team shown by our legal peers has always been a source of great pride for our firm.

Our partners are experienced trial and appellate lawyers who have appeared in all levels of court in Alberta, as well as at the Federal Court and the Supreme Court of Canada. They have represented clients in mediations and arbitrations both domestic and international, and many of our partners have acted as mediators and arbitrators in complex commercial disputes.
