About Us

Ritch Williams & Richards (RWR) is located in downtown Halifax, Nova Scotia. We are a mid-sized law firm, tracing its roots in this city to the late 1940s.

We focus on providing legal advice to insurers, ship owners and carriers, employers and local businesses. We take great pride in our long-standing relationships with many local, national and international clients.

RWR emphasizes a team approach. We encourage our lawyers to get to know our clients and work with them to develop effective legal solutions. Our team extends beyond the front line as we have knowledgeable and experienced legal analysts, assistants and support staff available to work on all matters. Our team approach enables timely and cost-effective service to meet your needs.

RWR offers a professional, yet casual, working environment. Providing legal services is rewarding but can be challenging and stressful. We do our best to support each other in the difficult moments and to celebrate our individual and group accomplishments. We have been voted as one of Atlantic Canada’s “Best Places to Work” on multiple occasions.
