Osuji & Smith Lawyers - YOUR CALGARY LAWYERS

New Name, But Same Dedication

Mr. Smith established Osuji & Smith (formerly, Smith Law Office) in 1980. He had practiced law for many years before Mr. Osuji was even conceived. They grew up half a world apart, and over four decades in-between. Dr. Charles Osuji (Hon. D.) joined the firm in 2013 as an articling student and, in a short time, with his energy and enthusiasm in the practice of law, became a Partner in the firm, which was renamed Osuji & Smith Lawyers in 2016. Shortly thereafter, Charles became the sole of owner of the firm and its Managing Partner.

The success of Osuji & Smith is a testament to the fact that when people from different backgrounds come together and focus on shared core values such as excellence and compassion, while ignoring all artificial divides, magic happens. The firm continues to focus on excellence, diversity, inclusion, compassionate representations, and achieving results for our clients

DIVERSE, COMPETENT AND APPROACHABLE CALGARY LAWYERS

The legal staff and support staff at Osuji & Smith reflect the changing face of Calgary’s professional groups – bringing a range of perspectives (cultural, linguistic, international, and experiential) to solving legal problems for its clients. Our lawyers combine to bring sensitive and caring customer service to our clients who are looking for exceptional legal representation. Our client base includes long-time Calgary residents and folks who may be newer to the Calgary community. This success in representing clients is no accident. It requires a staff that understands and appreciates both the Calgary work environment and an office space that is inclusive enough to welcome and encourage perspectives from abroad. The diversity of legal, financial and lived experiences has become the cornerstone of growth for the firm.
