Our Background

Our roots can be traced to Cliff Underwood who brought his downtown training to our first office in northwest Calgary in the early 1990s. Cliff’s focus on wills and estates, combined with his warm approach, resonates through our lawyers to the present day.

Over the past 25 years, commencing with Cliff, five lawyers from our office have instructed the Wills and Estates course at the University of Calgary, Faculty of Law. We are proud of this tradition of sharing our knowledge with the next generation of practitioners.

Our lawyers are recognized year over year for their contributions to the profession and their exemplary service to clients.
