From contract disputes and insolvency proceedings to defamation claims and professional negligence, our practice covers the areas of civil law where businesses and individuals face significant financial exposure.
Law firms and in-house counsel across Canada have engaged us as Alberta counsel on insolvency matters requiring familiarity with local rules and procedures.
Whether you are a business owner facing a contract dispute, a creditor navigating a receivership, or a professional dealing with a regulatory complaint, your matter gets the attention it requires — you work directly with the lawyer handling your file, from first meeting through resolution.
We represent clients pursuing negligence claims against lawyers, realtors, and other regulated professionals who cause financial harm through errors or misconduct.
Protecting reputations and handling libel and slander cases. We represent both plaintiffs and defendants in defamation matters, helping to restore reputations or defend against defamation claims.
Shareholder disputes, breach of contract, fraud claims, debt recovery — when a commercial dispute escalates, the costs and risks follow. We represent clients through negotiation, mediation, and trial.

At Baker Law Firm, you work directly with Roger Baker from intake through resolution. Before practising law, Roger spent over a decade in the oil and gas industry — experience that shapes how he reads a commercial problem and what advice he gives.
For matters outside our practice areas, we coordinate with trusted counsel in tax, family, or real estate law.
Every matter starts with an honest assessment. We review the facts, identify the legal issues, and give you a straightforward opinion on your options — including whether litigation is worth pursuing at all.
