Spruce Notary & Legal

06/04/2026

Estate planning often gets pushed to the bottom of the to-do list, but leaving your family without clear guidance creates unnecessary stress during difficult times. For years, we have helped families simplify their estate plans to bring them peace of mind. As our team expands across the Kootenays, our goal remains exactly the same: making legal protection practical, simple, and rooted in the community you trust.

We are incredibly proud to welcome Sr. Litigator Andrew Bird, alongside experienced counsel Graeme Nunn and Karen Tse, to the Spruce Legal roster. They are not new faces in the Elk Valley. They bring decades of longstanding client relationships and deep legal expertise to our unified firm. We are bringing our teams together so our clients have access to an even higher level of trusted, local representation across the Kootenays.

Today marks a historic day for our local practices. Spruce Legal and Rockies Law Fernie and Sparwood are officially one. We are now a fully integrated regional practice serving Cranbrook, Creston, Fernie, and Sparwood. To all of our clients, you can expect the same personalized, community-minded service you have always valued. The familiar faces you trust are still here, now backed by the depth and resources of a unified regional team.

Summer travel season is approaching. For years, our local teams have helped Kootenay families prepare for cross-border trips. If you are taking minor children across the US border without the other parent, you need a notarized Travel Consent Letter, or you could be turned away at the crossing. With our team of experts now spanning across Cranbrook, Creston, Fernie, and Sparwood, finding a trusted notary close to home is easier than ever.

Going into business with a friend or colleague in the Kootenays is exciting, but without a clear partnership agreement, you are putting your personal assets and your relationships at risk. Disagreements over finances or workload can quickly escalate into costly disputes. We have spent decades helping local partnerships thrive. Now, as our team grows across the region, we have an even deeper bench of corporate law resources to help you draft ironclad agreements.

05/25/2026

On June 1, we officially join forces with Rockies Law in Fernie and Sparwood. This is not about building a new, unfamiliar firm. It is about bringing two deeply established, local practices together. We chose to merge because our firms share the exact same core values: prioritizing the relationships we have built over decades, providing practical advice, and investing in the Kootenays. The lawyers you have always known now simply have access to a larger team of expertise.

05/21/2026

We love the tight-knit business community in the Kootenays, but doing business on a handshake is a massive risk. Memory fades, and minor misunderstandings can quickly turn into expensive civil litigation. We have spent decades drafting clear contracts that actually preserve local business relationships. Now with a larger, combined corporate team across the region, we are better equipped than ever to protect your livelihood.
