Each year, September 30th marks the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation
This day honors the Indigenous children who never returned home, and the survivors of residential schools, as well as their families and communities. Public commemoration of the tragic and painful history and ongoing impacts of residential schools is a vital component of the reconciliation process.
West Legal acknowledges that we reside and do business on Treaty 7 territory, the original home of the Blackfoot Confederacy, comprised of the Siksika, Piikani, and Kainai First Nations; the Stoney Nakoda, comprised of the Chiniki, Bearspaw, and Wesley First Nations; and the Tsuut-ina First Nation. This territory is also home to the Métis Nation of Alberta, Region 3, within the historical Northwest Métis homeland.
As lawyers, we acknowledge a basis of misunderstanding and misinterpretation of some treaties, often based on cultural and language differences, and the historical and ongoing interpretation of some treaties as peace agreements between Nations, not land surrenders. Despite any ongoing dispute, we embrace our ongoing responsibility to protect and honour all life within our shared reality.
We take a People First approach:
You are more than the legal inquiry that brought you in.
Flat Rate Legal Fees
Our goal is to provide you with friendly, cost-effective legal advice and solutions. Come and see how at West Legal, we put People First.
Estate Planning
Behind every estate plan there are individuals who want to ensure their hard-earned assets pass to their loved ones or favorite charities. One of the goals of that estate plan is to simplify the process for loved ones, and leave a legacy of family and work and accomplishments.
Probate & Estate Administration
Are you the Executor of a loved one’s estate? Being called on to administer the estate of a deceased family member or friend can be a daunting task, filled with complexity and intricate legal requirements. Our qualified probate lawyers can simplify the probate process and help you navigate the complicated waters of estate administration.
Real Estate
Surely every real estate transaction involves people who feel the excitement, fear and anxiety that comes with that home purchase or sale. We understand that the process can feel overwhelming, and our role is to simplify things so you can focus on the many other things that come with such a big transition.
Family Law
Separation and divorce are difficult, and each situation is as unique as the people dealing with it. We recognize that there is no one-size-fits-all approach to managing relationship breakdown. And we recognize that there is a cost, both emotional and financial, which can be minimized through sound advice and a focus on the best legal solutions to help you move forward.
Employment Law
Have you been dismissed from your job recently? Are you contemplating a career change? Or, perhaps you’re facing challenges in your current work environment. Whether you are employed, considering a new job offer or your employment has been terminated, understanding your legal rights and obligations is often difficult.
