Ekemere Law Inc. covers the ground people and businesses in Nova Scotia most often need: starting and running a company, family and immigration matters, wills and estates, notarial work, and disputes — civil or criminal — that end up in court.
Each matter is prepared to the standard it needs to meet, without passing you between departments.
Incorporation, shareholder and partnership agreements, governance structures, and the ongoing corporate maintenance that keeps a company in good standing — built for how the business actually operates, not just to check a box.

Embryo, prenuptial, and separation agreements can be drafted online. For matters headed to court — contested divorce, custody, or support disputes — we appear in Nova Scotia Family Court and Supreme Court, with every form prepared to current Civil Procedure Rules.
Already know it's a divorce matter? Go straight to our divorce intake form.
Building a legacy isn't only about dying — it's about planning. A business built to run for generations, a charity that outlives you, a trust that protects what you've built, and someone you trust to handle your affairs if you're ever too sick to. Wills, powers of attorney, personal directives, trusts, and estate administration, planned together — not drafted in isolation.
Have complex assets or want to go in depth first? Fill out our full estate planning questionnaire.
Study and work permits, sponsorship, permanent residence, and citizenship applications — prepared to meet IRCC's requirements the first time, with realistic timelines set at the outset rather than discovered along the way.
Statutory declarations, affidavits, certified true copies, and document authentication — most notarial work is handled same-day, without a full retainer.

Ekemere Law Inc. is a Nova Scotia law practice built around seven areas that touch people and businesses at very different, and often pivotal, moments. We keep the practice focused on those seven so the depth stays high and nothing gets treated as routine.
"The paperwork should never be the hardest part of a hard moment."
Our name comes from the belief that every case is uniquely different, just as every individual is uniquely different. Nova Scotia is home to a wide range of communities, languages, and family structures, and the people who come to us for help reflect that — so that belief isn't a slogan, it's how we take instructions.
We welcome and serve clients of every race, ethnicity, national origin, immigration status, religion, age, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, marital or family status, and ability. Our intake questions are written to describe your situation, not to assume it — whether that's how your family is structured, who you're building a business with, or where you're starting from.
This commitment extends inside the firm as well. We hire, train, and grow our team on merit, and we work to keep our services accessible — plain language over legal jargon, accommodations on request, and pricing that's clear before you commit.
If anything about how we've served you falls short of this, we want to hear about it directly at info@ekemerelaw.com.
