Providing corporate and commercial litigation services in Calgary and throughout Canada
July 2011
Alberta lawyers annually gather at the Alberta Law Conference in order to participate in continuing professional development, to discuss ethical and practical issues facing lawyers, and to recognize outstanding contributions to society and the profession. Richard Billington, Q.C. will be chairing the Advanced Advocacy Skills Panel at the upcoming conference, to be held in Calgary in January, 2012. The panel will include Hon. Mr. Justice Belzil of the Court of Queen’s Bench in Edmonton and Robert Hawkes of JSS Barristers, Calgary.
Rick Billington’s presentation provides observations on advocacy gained through almost 3 decades of litigating precedent setting cases, including comments on persuading judges, cross-examination of witnesses, advocacy in emergency applications and of the nature of advocacy in other forums, including in mediation, arbitration and negotiations.
Our lawyers provide representation in a wide range of disputes and complex court cases, acting for clients locally and across Canada. Billington Barristers represents individual and corporate clients whether they are a plaintiff or a defendant in a dispute. Our lawyers often act on referrals from other law firms where there is a conflict of interest, a complex litigation matter, or as a court-appointed Independent Supervising Solicitor in specializing injunction matters.
