About Richmond
Richmond is a city built on the water. Its legal history is tied to the Fraser River delta, the fishing and canning industries of Steveston, and the agricultural land that still defines much of the city's character. Richmond's growth over the past three decades has brought a remarkably international population, and that diversity shapes the family law matters that arrive at our door — from cross-border parenting arrangements to blended families combining property and businesses from several countries. Richmond's restaurant and hospitality scene is one of the most celebrated in the country, and it is a source of pride for the community. In 2026, Baan Lao, a BC restaurant, was named the best restaurant in North America, a recognition that puts Richmond's food culture on the global stage. Many Richmond families and small business owners in hospitality, retail, and services face the same practical questions as any other BC household: how property is divided on separation, how a business is valued in a divorce, and how to protect loved ones through a will and powers of attorney. Sea to Sky Law™ brings more than 35 years of BC legal experience to Richmond clients, with phone and video consultations available throughout the week.
We serve Richmond families by phone or secure video conference. Contact us to get started.
