Challenges in life never seem to end. From a legal perspective, we are here to help.
Docken & Company is up to the challenge. We have successfully taken on large multi-national corporations and
governments on behalf of clients in complex litigation.
Our clients range from individuals to small corporations to large corporations to governments. We have represented clients
from Alberta, the rest of Canada and abroad.
Who does 911 call when they have an Emergency?
They called us. Perhaps you heard this on television, but the 911 operators in the City of Calgary, Alberta, Canada, had an emergency,
and retained Docken & Company to resolve it. Our clients allege having suffered injuries or a potential for injury as a result of their
exposure to chemicals, lead, mould, sewage, carbon monoxide and/or asbestos, while at work in their office building. They seek
rectification of their working environment without exposing them to further harm.
