Multilingual legal support

Persian (Farsi) speaking lawyer in Calgary

Legal processes in Canada are primarily documented in English, but you should still understand your rights, obligations, and timelines in the language you are most comfortable using in conversation. At Agahi Law, firm founder Houman Agahi speaks Persian (Farsi) in addition to English, which helps many clients discuss real estate closings, business questions, and other matters with greater confidence before reviewing formal English documents.

How language support works in practice

Courts, land titles, and most third parties require contracts, affidavits, and court filings in English (or French in designated jurisdictions). Your lawyer’s role is to explain those materials clearly, answer your questions, and ensure you know what you are signing. Where a Persian speaking lawyer is involved, you can often discuss strategy, risks, and next steps in Farsi, then align on the English wording that will appear on the record. Interpreters remain important for formal proceedings when needed; we can help you understand when that applies.

Calgary’s Iranian and broader Persian-speaking community includes homeowners, entrepreneurs, and professionals who need the same services as any other client—purchase and sale closings, refinancing, incorporations, shareholder agreements, estate planning, and sometimes litigation. Our office aims to treat every file with respect for cultural context while applying Alberta law consistently.

Services often requested

Many Persian-speaking clients first contact us for real estate lawyer support when buying or selling a home in Calgary, especially when coordinating with family members abroad or complex sources of funds. Others need a corporate lawyer for a new venture or a wills and estate lawyer to align an Alberta plan with assets in multiple countries. Tell us your priorities when you reach out so we can assign the right lawyer and paralegal team to your file.

Other members of our team speak Mandarin, Albanian, and Spanish; see our team section for backgrounds. Availability for specific languages varies by matter type and scheduling.
