SKD Law

SKD Law operates from a base in the Northwest Territories, providing legal services to individuals and Indigenous governments throughout the region with a commitment to making legal representation accessible to communities that might otherwise lack access to experienced counsel. While the firm maintains primary presence in Yellowknife, SKD Law serves Hay River and other NWT communities through both remote legal services and periodic in-person consultations. The firm's practice addresses separation and divorce matters, helping clients in the challenging legal environment of the Northwest Territories navigate family law issues. Separation agreements represent a particular focus, reflecting understanding that when couples separate in the NWT, they must establish separation agreements regardless of whether they are married or in common-law relationships. For couples seeking to formalize their understanding of how separation issues should be handled—property division, support, custody arrangements—the firm provides counsel guiding this important process. Divorce services extend family law representation beyond initial separation, addressing the formal dissolution of marriages and any unresolved issues. The firm helps clients understand Northwest Territories family law, navigate the court system, and resolve disputes fairly. The firm's commitment to serving NWT communities remotely and in-person reflects understanding that geographic remoteness should not prevent families from accessing experienced legal counsel. For families in Hay River and other NWT communities, having access to professional family law representation through both remote and in-person services ensures that separation and divorce can proceed with proper legal guidance despite geographic limitations. SKD Law's dedication to serving the Northwest Territories, including Indigenous government clients, reflects broader commitment to making legal services accessible throughout the region.
