LeClair Thibeault

What LeClair Thibeault does

LeClair Thibeault Barristers & Solicitors is a private legal partnership founded in 2001 by Bill LeClair and Ron Thibeault in Calgary, Alberta. The firm operates from two Calgary office locations and delivers traditional legal services to individuals and businesses across Alberta and British Columbia. Its core offering is real estate law — encompassing residential and commercial transactions, mortgages, refinancing, title transfers, and corporate relocation — extended over time into wills and estate planning, corporate and commercial law, and family law. The firm also offers specialized services including foreclosure defence, commercial litigation, and tax planning. Service is delivered through direct lawyer-led engagement supplemented by a referral network of Alberta financial institutions and Calgary realtors, an educational blog, and consultation booking via phone, email, and website contact forms.

The firm generates revenue through billable professional services on a matter-by-matter basis with quote-based pricing, free estimates for select home mortgage fees, and a stated philosophy of "more solutions per hour" rather than maximizing billable hours. Customer segments span four horizontal use cases: real estate (individuals and businesses), estate planning (individuals and families), commercial/business clients, and family law clients. Select customers include Alberta financial institutions, Calgary realtors, individual property owners, and corporate clients — with the firm claiming over 30,000 real estate transactions handled since inception. The firm holds a registered trademark, "Done Now. Done Right.®," which functions as its service-level standard and brand identity.

From a technology standpoint, LeClair Thibeault operates as a conventional professional services firm with no disclosed software platform, API, AI/ML products, or proprietary technology. Headcount consists of two founding partners plus 15+ support staff described as growing. Ownership remains with the two founding partners under a standard Canadian barristers and solicitors partnership structure, with no parent company, no external investment, and no known ownership changes since founding. Operating geographies are limited to Alberta and British Columbia in Canada.

LeClair Thibeault is a Calgary-based law firm that provides legal services across real estate transactions, wills and estate planning, corporate and commercial law, family law, title transfers, foreclosure defence, and tax planning.

Product overview

LeClair Thibeault is a traditional law firm providing legal services as a unified offering rather than a platform-plus-modules architecture. The firm's service portfolio centers on real estate law as its primary specialty, supported by estate planning (Wills, Power of Attorney, Personal Directives), family law, commercial law, corporate law, and specialized services including tax planning, foreclosure defence, and commercial litigation. The core Real Estate Law service handles both residential and commercial transactions, while Wills & Estate Planning provides comprehensive estate documentation and administration. Supporting services like Relocation and Title Transfers complement the real estate practice, while specialized services such as Commercial Litigation and Tax Planning address complex business needs.
