THE
Practising in Calgary
DON TSE, Macleod Dixon LLP PROS:
+
• Top-notch work. Th e business environment in Calgary is younger and more entrepreneur- ial, so the legal work is oſt en innovative and creative. • Lifestyle. Extensive running paths along the river make a lunchtime or aſt er-work run con- venient and 45-minute access to mountains for hiking, biking or skiing allows connection with nature. • Friendly community. A small bar means law- yers work together and even adversarial matters are worked through professionally and respect- fully.
• We're all going to see each other during the Stampede, so we all stay friends with each oth- er. • Cost of living. No provincial sales tax + low income taxes + aff ordable real estate + na- tionally competitive compensation = happy lawyers.
• What's the deal with the weather? CONS:
