About Us

Oakes Law Office is a law firm with offices in Swan River and The Pas, Manitoba. We proudly serve the Swan River Valley, The Pas, and surrounding communities. Our preferred areas of practice include Real Estate, Wills and Estates, and Corporate and Business Law.

Our website provides convenient links and contact information for local real estate agents, insurance brokers, accounting firms, and municipal offices.

In 2013, Laurie A. E. Oakes joined Bergthor (Beggie) Palsson as his first female partner at Palsson Law Office. Upon Beggie’s retirement in 2014 after 36 years of service, Oakes Law Office was established in the Valley. In 2019, we expanded with a Branch Office in The Pas, Manitoba.

On June 1, 2026, we were thrilled to welcome the Ferriss Law group to the Oakes Law Office team. Rhodel Ferriss has joined us as an associate lawyer, helping to ensure a smooth transition for all clients. Our Swan River office has relocated to 509 Main Street E.

We’re growing stronger, serving better—with our combined teams and the same trusted, high-quality expertise. We look forward to continuing to serve you even better in this next chapter!
