Congratulations Sunik on 25 Years!

I nside Kahane Law Office, there are no false airs – nothing pretentious – just ordinary people who have chosen

a career in the legal field and take great pride in helping other ordinary people build or rebuild a better life.

Ten years ago, Jeff Kahane started with a paralegal, a small rented space and 30 files a month. Over the past decade, he has grown the firm with a mix of precision and passion. Kahane’s goals are simple: to provide the best legal guidance possi-ble while cultivating an environment that makes clients feel welcome and at ease.

“You have to know the ‘rules’ and case law to understand the framework you’re operating within. I’m always amazed at the number of lawyers who don’t know the rules, so when someone comes along and tells you what the rules are – that you’re not aware of – you’ve just lost,” he adds.

Not surprisingly, the majority of Kah-ane’s business is referral-driven and today, the thriving firm has a staff of 22 people. They have a loyal following among social media and post a new video on ‘YouTube’ every week. At last count, they had in excess of 16,000 ‘YouTube’ followers.

Not Your Average Law Firm…

“I love taking something cognitive - like systems - and pulling it apart to make it more efficient, and that’s what law is all about. You have to figure out how to best

represent your client within the framework of the legal system and rules.”

- Jeff Kahane, Kahane Law Office,

founder and managing partner

And Kahane’s business practices have not gone unno-ticed. In year’s prior, the firm was selected among the Calgary Choice Awards and recognized by Calgary Inc. magazine as one of the ‘best places to work.’

As Kahane has observed, there are two things he truly enjoys about law: the people and the intellectual component. “I am motived – 100 per cent – by internal drivers and if I’m pas-sionate about something, I simply run with it,” notes Kahane.

He has become one of the most sought-after lawyers when it comes to real estate transactions – fielding calls when it comes to real estate transactions – fielding calls from across the country because he is so well-versed. “On any given month, we touch about 10-15 per cent of the total real estate transactions in the city – up significantly from the real estate boom in 2007,” adds Kahane.

Along the west wall of their building sits an empty office; they have room to hire one more lawyer, but according to Kahane it has to be the right fit.

Credentials aside, one of Kahane’s favourite questions asks the following, “If you were a cheese, what kind of cheese would you be?”

Don’t be fooled, it cuts to the chase.

“The question tells us a lot about the candidate’s per-sonality, sense of humour, logic and like traits. Some people laugh and refuse to answer it, others tell us what kind of cheese they like to eat and some give us a very logical, detailed description. My staff now understand the value in asking the question,” adds Kahane with a twinkle in his eye.

The Right Fit

The firm has also established itself as a formidable team when handling commercial and corporate matters, fam-ily law and guardianship orders, probate, wills and estates, immigration, litigation and labour employment – they are a full-service firm.

“In an industry that’s notorious for unreturned phone calls, I return every call and try to do so by the close of every day – that alone contributes to a significant part of our growth,” asserts Kahane. “We provide a very personal-ized level of service, so when my phone rings, I answer the ized level of service, so when my phone rings, I answer the call and the same applies for email. Our mandate is to keep our clients happy and we maintain those relationships for a long time, but I couldn’t have built this firm without the exceptional people that are around me.” •
