Calgary Attorneys For Legal Help

Attorney Vs. Lawyer

As lawyers, our Calgary attorneys are often asked to help people. In Calgary, Alberta most people refer to lawyers as, well, lawyers. In Alberta, to be a practicing attorney, you need to be a member of the Alberta Law Society. It is the Legal Profession Act in Alberta that set this requirement. If you require legal help, at Kahane Law Office in Calgary, Alberta we are available.

Why Are There Restrictions On Who Can BE An Attorney At Law?

The reason the Legal Profession Act, sets limitation on who can be an attorney is to protect the public. Attorneys must have specific education and then testing to be a member of the Alberta Bar. As a member of the Law Society, an attorney is subject to review, an going trust a counting supervision and disciplinary actions. If a Calgary attorney is acting in a way that puts the public at risk, the law society can penalize, suspend or “dis-bar, or take away the ability to practice if it is in the public’s best interest.

Type Of Work Kahane Law Attorneys Do

While the Law Society allows any member to practice in any area of law, we have lawyers who have focused their practice on very specific practice areas. We feel that this gives our clients great service. It also allows all our team to work together as a team and not compete with each other for clients.
