About SKS Law LLP

SKS Law LLP is a full-service law firm headquartered in Ottawa, with a second office in Vankleek Hill in Prescott and Russell County. Jason Shelly and Steven Sheppard founded the firm in 2016 after careers at larger Ottawa firms, and it has since grown to nine lawyers across the two locations. SKS Law advises small and medium enterprises, family farms, nonprofits, municipalities, landlords, and developers on corporate and commercial law, real estate and development, municipal law, estate and succession planning, and litigation.

David Shelly, Jason Shelly's father, operated Shelly Law Office/Etude Legale in Eastern Ontario for many years before joining SKS Law as counsel. David Shelly was called to the Ontario bar in 1974 and holds the Law Society of Ontario's Certified Specialist designation in municipal law and land use planning. The Vankleek Hill office serves the area's farm sector, with a team that works on agribusiness and agricultural lending alongside the firm's broader real estate practice. SKS Law operates in English and French, which fits the bilingual communities it serves in Ottawa and in Prescott and Russell County.
