Create a Free Letter of Intent for Alberta in 60 Seconds

Alberta courts apply Canadian common law principles to evaluate Letters of Intent. The Alberta Court of Appeal has held that the enforceability of a preliminary agreement depends on the parties' objective intent, the definiteness of the terms, and whether the essential elements of a contract are present. Under Alberta law, courts distinguish between binding preliminary agreements and non-binding expressions of interest, examining the document's language and the parties' conduct. The Supreme Court of Canada's decision in Bhasin v. Hrynew (which originated in Alberta) established a general duty of honest performance in contracts, influencing LOI negotiations.

Calgary is the energy capital of Canada. Whether you're structuring an oil and gas acquisition, negotiating a pipeline or midstream deal, or outlining terms for a commercial real estate transaction in Calgary's downtown core, a precisely drafted LOI is essential. Alberta's economy — driven by oil and gas, petrochemicals, agriculture, technology (Calgary's emerging tech sector), and renewable energy — generates high-volume deal activity, particularly in the energy sector.

SignAI generates your Alberta LOI with province-specific provisions — clearly separating binding from non-binding terms under Alberta contract law, addressing the Bhasin v. Hrynew duty of honest performance, specifying Alberta as the governing jurisdiction, and including clauses for due diligence, confidentiality, exclusivity, and break-up fees.
