THE CALGARY LEGAL TEAM

OUR STORY

Decades of collective experience focused on
smart and strategic legal solutions.

The Calgary Legal Team began with founder Lisa Handfield, whose unique combination of legal and accounting expertise—including a Master of Laws in Tax Law and certification as a Chartered Professional Accountant—set the foundation for a different kind of practice. What started as "Lawyer Lisa" evolved into a full-service firm built on the principles of efficiency, fiscal responsibility, and collaboration. This evolution reflected not merely growth in size, but the development of a team-based approach to addressing complex legal challenges.

Today, the firm brings together specialized legal professionals selected for both their technical expertise and alignment with The Calgary Legal Team's collaborative philosophy. This carefully assembled Team includes experienced lawyers with diverse backgrounds in contract law, international humanitarian work, and business administration, supported by dedicated paralegals and administrative professionals. Together, they provide comprehensive legal support across multiple practice areas, with particular expertise in family law, tax matters, estate litigation, corporate law, and civil litigation.

What distinguishes The Calgary Legal Team is their rejection of the one-size-fits-all approach prevalent in legal services. Instead, they take time to understand each client's unique circumstances, developing tailored strategies designed to achieve optimal outcomes. Clients benefit from clear communication—where legal complexities are translated into actionable insights—and the collective expertise of the entire Team rather than a single lawyer's perspective. This comprehensive support extends beyond traditional services, connecting clients with trusted professionals in finance, real estate, and other fields to address all aspects of their situation.

The Calgary Legal Team has established itself as a respected presence in Alberta's legal community, reflecting contemporary values while maintaining traditional professional standards. As they look to the future, their vision remains consistent with their founding principles: combining specialized expertise with a collaborative approach to provide strategic legal solutions for life's pivotal moments. The firm continues to evolve while staying true to its core commitment to efficiency, responsibility, and teamwork—representing a thoughtful reimagining of legal practice that places client needs at the center.
