L.A. Radio Group Inc.

In 2015, following the difficult decision to sell our broadcasting company, we turned to Sully Chapman Beattie to manage this acquisition, as well as provide experience in an area of business we were unfamiliar with. Kevin Beattie and his team of professionals created a very positive atmosphere for us, while ensuring a smooth transition for all parties involved. Not only were we grateful for Mr. Beattie’s expertise, the purchasers were also very impressed with the communication lines that were created and utilized throughout the entire process. We recommend Sully Chapman Beattie for, not only their years of expertise, but also for recognizing our vision and ensuring all of our goals were met. Kevin and his team of pros played a very important role during this chapter of our lives, and we thank them for everything.

I started referring my real estate buyer and seller clients in 2002. The feedback from my clients has always been positive. They’ve appreciated his straightforward approach and ability to relay the complex in a manner that was easy to digest. When my personal business needs evolved to requiring corporate and estate planning I called Kevin Beattie. I’ve always found that everyone associated with our file, from front reception, legal assistants, and all points of contact in-between to be friendly, timely and above all understanding and helpful.

CGL Strategic Business & Tax Advisors

As a Chartered Professional Accountant specializing in tax matters I see the work of many law firms. After assisting many clients that had already dealt with Sully Chapman Beattie LLP, I chose them for some of my own corporate contractual work. I chose this firm for my own needs because of their dedication to accuracy and more than friendly customer service. They are always willing to assist no matter how minor the question may be. The value for money is well worth it, and they always take pride in their work. From the receptionist that greets you, to the legal assistant on the file, to the lawyer themselves, the service of this firm is hard to beat in Red Deer.
