How we work affects how well we deliver

Estates

Bales Beall LLP has wide-ranging experience in all aspects of estates, from initial estate planning, to ongoing estate administration and if necessary, estate litigation. In particular, we have extensive experience in arranging domestic and off-shore trusts, developing succession plans for business owners, and litigating estate matters where they intersect with family law issues. We are also at the forefront of the practice, having recently dealt with such issues as estate freezes, and Henson Trusts.

Family Law

We have long standing experience in preparing marriage contracts, cohabitation agreements, and separation agreements, and are experienced in harmonizing these with complex, and uncommon property requirements. Bales Beall LLP is especially equipped to assist on family law matters that involve partnerships, business corporations and commercial issues.

Employment Law

Our employment law practices serves both business owners and individuals in all aspects of workplace employment. We have a particular focus on contract disputes, shareholder agreements, and other commercial disputes.

Litigation

Bales Beall LLP has deep experience in many diverse aspects of litigation. Our partners and associates have appeared in litigation matters before all levels of both Provincial and Federal Courts. We have specific experience litigating estates, commercial, forensic accounting and estates disputes. We bring a strategic approach to litigation, and part of that is an effective use of the mediation process. Some disputes should not be litigated; often, the length and cost (both personally and fiscally) of traditional litigation make it an undesirable process.
