Brian N. Lester

I am a lawyer in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, with over 35 years of experience in legal practice. Born in Calgary in 1959, I come from a family with a rich legal heritage, including my grandfather, who was Alberta's first Justice of the Supreme Court of Canada. I graduated from Western Canada High School in 1977 and earned my law degree from the University of Alberta in 1986. After being called to the Bar of Alberta in 1987, I practiced litigation before establishing my own practice focused on real estate, estate planning, and commercial transactions. My services include residential and commercial conveyancing, mortgage and lending advice, estate planning, will preparation, and incorporation guidance. I also teach portions of the Alberta Bar Admission course in Real Estate, ensuring my expertise remains current and accessible.

My practice emphasizes personalized client attention, competitive fees, and collaboration with experienced staff to deliver efficient and reliable legal solutions. I work closely with developers, realtors, agents, landlords, vendors, and purchasers, providing tailored advice on real estate law. My estate planning services include wills, powers of attorney, and healthcare directives, with extensive experience in probate and estate administration. For commercial clients, I assist with business transactions, incorporations, and litigation support, ensuring compliance with legal standards. My commitment to transparency and client education is reflected in my willingness to provide free basic consultations, ensuring clients understand their legal obligations and options.
