Commercial Litigation

For more than a century, our no-nonsense approach has helped Edmonton's business owners resolve disputes quickly and cost-effectively.

Most businesses, large and small, become embroiled in a dispute at some point. When they arise, these disputes have the potential to turn into protracted and costly litigation which can distract business owners from essential day-to-day operations and long-term strategic planning. The commercial litigation lawyers at Duncan Craig LLP work directly with business owners to protect their interest from the moment a potential conflict appears on the horizon. We focus on pursuing a fair and practical solution that will resolve the conflict cost-effectively. We do not believe in pursuing gamesmanship and we stand tough against tactics by opposing parties that do not move the conflict towards a suitable and efficient resolution.

When business owners are involved in a conflict that threatens their business it is inevitably personal. Our clients can count on us to bring the same commitment, determination and focus to protecting and defending their business as they use in building their business.
