Our Story

Decades of collective experience delivering
unparalleled legal solutions.

[Part I] Founded in 2017 by Lisa Handfield, The Calgary Legal Team was built on a foundation of legal and financial expertise, efficiency, and collaboration. What began as a solo practice has evolved into a boutique firm recognized for its strategic insight and genuine care.

Today, our team brings together seasoned professionals from diverse backgrounds—litigation, advisory, transactional, and regulatory—supported by dedicated paralegals and staff. We are united by a commitment to deliver exceptional service and to navigate complex, high-stake matters with precision.

[Part II] We reject the one-size-fits-all approach. Instead, we take the time to understand each client’s unique circumstances, crafting strategies that achieve optimal outcomes. Our clients benefit from clear communication, actionable advice, and the collective expertise of our entire team. When needed, we connect you with trusted professionals in finance, real estate, and other fields to ensure every aspect of your situation is addressed.

Having served over a thousand clients, we are proud to be a respected presence in Canada’s legal community—balancing contemporary values with traditional professionalism. As our firm continues to evolve, our vision remains clear: to guide clients through pivotal moments with strategic expertise and genuine care.
