Rural Roots
Layh Law Office was established in Langenburg, Saskatchewan in 1994 after Don Layh and his family relocated from Saskatoon to Don’s family farm on the Assiniboine Valley west of Russell, Manitoba. Don and his wife Jan purchased Welke House, a historic landmark in Langenburg, and invested great time and effort to transform the pastoral home into a unique office space.
Located just 15 kilometers west of the Manitoba border, Layh & Associates is naturally situated to provide legal services to clients on both sides of the border. Our rural location adjacent to the parkland fringe reflects our connection to the rural economy of the prairies, including agriculture, potash mining and small businesses. It also reflects a sense of kinship with our clients who primarily live and conduct business in rural communities throughout the prairies.
Improvements in communication technology have permitted Layh & Associates to serve commercial clients throughout the Canadian prairies. While many clients have never graced the threshold of our office, our location provides many economic and practical advantages in the practice of law that allow us to better serve our commercial clients in a timely, efficient and cost-effective manner.
The lawyers and staff at Layh & Associates have chosen to live and work in the region for both the quality of legal practice and the quality of life it provides. The three young lawyers who have joined Don in practice will build on the reputation he has established throughout the prairies for legal expertise and contribute to the growth of a vibrant professional community providing first-class legal services from a rural setting.
Following a growing clientele in rural Manitoba, Layh & Associates will be opening a second office in the historic A. G. Smellie Block in downtown Russell, Manitoba. The building was constructed in 1909 and continues to be a cornerstone of Russell’s downtown core. The building is currently under renovations and Layh & Associates is scheduled to open its office in 2009. The unique nature of the building is a compliment to both the Langenburg office and our style of practice.
