Background

About Jeff Fixsen

I have advised corporations and individuals in all aspects of their business for over two decades. My practice includes the areas of corporate and commercial law, real estate, mergers and acquisitions, corporate restructuring and financing, and trademarks. My ability to foster practical approaches to problem solving helps clients achieve success efficiently and effectively. My clientele is diverse and reflective of the greater Edmonton and area and Northern Alberta business community. I provide the proper business structures for owner-managed, family-owned, multi-generational and start-up businesses for long-term success. As a partner at Duncan Craig LLP, I have years of experience serving on the firm’s management committee and as the practice group leader of our real estate team. I combine this experience with my legal knowledge to build valuable and constructive relationships with clients. I take the time to learn the business of my clients and work to support their efforts to achieve success. I find proactive solutions rather than simply identifying issues. My colleagues tell me that I am a great communicator with a relaxed style and good humour. I think that works well with the practice of law which often involves high emotions, high stakes and tight timelines. As such, I am tough on problems but not on people. My clients see me as their protector, which indeed I am. Most of my clients come to me by the referrals from other clients or other professionals in the tax, accounting or real estate world. Most often the introductory email or phone call is 'Jeff will take care of you.' I see that as a great opportunity and responsibility to do just that. I love taking care of my clients and helping them sort through complex legal issues, realize their business goals and make sure that they have peace of mind during the process. I strive for balance within my family and work life and I am committed to making a difference in my community. My experience teaching at the University of Alberta Faculty of Law strengthened my eagerness to share my appreciation of critical thinking and advocacy. And as a past director of 14 years with CASA - Child, Adolescent, and Family Mental Health, I am proud of its growth and the help it has provided to over children and youth who suffer from mental health issues each year.
