Calgary Litigation Lawyers
HMC Lawyers is a litigation boutique based in Calgary. We help clients in Alberta and across Western Canada to proactively identify and respond to potential legal risks. We move quickly to understand the nuances and context of each client’s specific issue, address their questions, and ensure that any potential problem or dispute is mitigated as soon as possible.
Thoughtful and experienced advocacy
Through a cumulative 130 years of litigation experience, our lawyers understand how to be effective advocates for our clients. We provide clients with the tools, information, and knowledge needed to develop strategies, policies, and practices for ongoing risk management.
Where an issue escalates, we recognize that alternative dispute resolution can offer a mutually beneficial outcome to traditional litigation, and can avoid protracted and expensive courtroom battles. Whether your goal is preserving an ongoing commercial relationship, getting a matter settled quickly, or minimizing costs, our lawyers have the training and experience to skillfully negotiate on your behalf before your matter even reaches a courtroom. Our Advocacy Group regularly represents clients at mediations and arbitrations in a variety of civil and commercial claims. We also provide mediation and arbitration services in construction, commercial, and civil disputes.
Where needed, we are tireless and dedicated trial lawyers and use our skills to represent our clients in the courtroom or other legal proceedings. We regularly advise clients involved in litigation, including in the most complex, multi-party disputes. Our team has appeared before all levels of court in Alberta and Western Canada, as well as provincial tribunals, boards, and commissions.
Legal advice with a personal perspective
At HMC Lawyers, our approach to each file is tailored to the specific needs of our clients. We take the time, at the outset, to understand our clients' unique perspective, and help them identify the course of action that will best meet their goals.
We understand that legal disputes are stressful and complex. Our goal is to help our clients through a difficult situation and achieve the best possible outcome. We will negotiate and mediate where possible, and will litigate fiercely when necessary. In all cases, we will provide our clients with the information and know-how to make the best possible decisions at every step of the process.
We know that every legal issue is unique, and endeavor to work closely with each client, so they feel their specific needs are being heard and their concerns addressed at every stage. We pride ourselves on being highly responsive to our clients' needs and always provide pragmatic, applicable, informative advice in a timely manner.
