Andrea V. Argue, K.C.
Andrea practices primarily in the areas of corporate and commercial law, real estate, business organization and succession, estate planning and estate administration.
A significant part of Andrea’s practice is agriculturally related: she advises primary producers in general business and litigation matters, and has a specific interest in the unique legal challenges and opportunities farmers face in their operations and estate planning. Andrea comes from a farming family and she and her husband have a farming operation which provides her with a familiarity with agricultural issues.
Andrea is a member of the Saskatchewan bar and has presented on a number of professional topics.
