Andrew Liggett BA JD CD and Sea to Sky Law™ have served rural and remote BC families for over 30 years.

Virtual consultations make full legal access available from Pemberton without travel.
About Pemberton
Pemberton has no courthouse — residents travel to Squamish or Lillooet for court appearances depending on the matter, reflecting the remote nature of the Mount Currie and Pemberton Valley area. The valley was accessible only by rail until the Duffey Lake Road improved land connections in the 20th century, and that geographic isolation has always shaped how legal services are delivered here. The Líl̓wat Nation, whose traditional territory encompasses Pemberton, has historically navigated courts in both Squamish and Lillooet — two very different communities — for matters affecting their land and governance. For Pemberton families, this reality makes out-of-court resolution through mediation or a well-drafted separation agreement especially important: virtual consultations with Sea to Sky Law™ mean you can resolve most of your legal matters without the long drive, and we help Pemberton clients avoid court wherever possible through practical, durable agreements.
We serve Pemberton clients entirely via virtual consultations — phone, video, or written. This means Pemberton families get complete BC family law counsel from wherever they live.
Common questions
Does Sea to Sky Law serve Pemberton and the Upper Sea to Sky?
Yes — we serve Pemberton, Lillooet, Mount Currie, D'Arcy, and the broader Upper Sea to Sky Corridor through virtual consultations by phone or video. Pemberton clients receive the same complete BC family law service as our urban clients.
Can I get a divorce lawyer in Pemberton without travelling to Vancouver?
Absolutely. Sea to Sky Law™ handles the entire legal process by phone, video, and written consultation. Your matter — from initial intake to separation agreement or court filing — can be handled entirely remotely, without you needing to travel.
How does BC family law apply to agricultural or rural property in Pemberton?
Family farms and agricultural properties in the Pemberton area are subject to BC's Family Law Act just like any other family property — meaning they are generally divided equally on separation unless excluded by agreement or circumstance. We help Pemberton families navigate the complexities of dividing rural property, including working farms, land, and equipment.
What if my children's other parent is moving away from Pemberton?
Parental relocation is a significant family law issue in small communities. Under BC's Family Law Act and the Divorce Act, a parent wishing to relocate must give proper notice and, if opposed, obtain court approval. We advise Pemberton parents on both sides of a potential relocation — whether protecting your right to stay or your right to move.
Can Sea to Sky Law help with estate planning in Pemberton?
Yes — wills, powers of attorney, and representation agreements are available for Pemberton and Lillooet residents through virtual consultations. A proper estate plan is especially important for families with land, agricultural property, or complex assets in rural BC.
