About Moodys Private Client Law

Moodys Private Client Law is the legal arm of Moodys Private Client, a Calgary-based practice that brings tax, accounting, and law together under one roof. The firm was founded by Kim Moody, who also founded Moodys Tax Law and holds credentials as a chartered professional accountant and a member of the Society of Trust and Estate Practitioners. Its lawyers are licensed in both Canada and the US, and the firm operates from Calgary with a satellite office in Toronto.

The firm practices in four areas. Business and corporate law covers banking, mergers and acquisitions, energy, corporate finance and securities, and corporate governance. Immigration work spans both Canadian and US matters, including work permits, permanent residence and citizenship applications, and business traveler visas. Trust and estate law runs from wills and powers of attorney through estate administration to estate litigation, including disputes involving elder abuse or predatory marriages. Tax law is handled in step with its sister firm, Moodys Tax Law, so clients with cross-border tax questions can work with the same integrated team.
