Words have meaning, and names have power.
Saltwater City (鹹水埠) is the historic name given to Vancouver by early Chinese immigrants. Calling ourselves Saltwater Law is a nod to the heritage of our founding partners, and a way to acknowledge the ocean's important role in our professional and personal lives.
Like the law, the sea energizes and grounds us. Both are vast. There's tremendous power in both that, if harnessed properly, can work to our advantage.
That's why our three offices - Vancouver, Sechelt and Prince Rupert - are found at the water's edge.
