‘Family Law’ is a legal drama Tv series that follows Abigail Bianchi, a lawyer struggling with alcoholism. After her husband kicks her out of their home after a drunken episode, she is suspended and allowed to work only under the supervision of a senior lawyer. As part of her probationary period, she reaches out to her estranged father and two half-siblings and begins working with them in the family law firm.
Now Abigail must deal with her complex family dynamics as well as provide clients with similar problems with effective medicine. The stellar performances further enhance the dramatic yet compelling story. In addition, the realistic background of the law firm in the cityscape makes one wonder where the drama show is being filmed.

Most of the core areas of “family law” are located in Metro Vancouver, the metropolitan area centered in Vancouver. Since the law firm where the story takes place is located in downtown Vancouver, the filmmakers decided to shoot on location to add authenticity to the visuals. In addition, Abigail’s house in the series is represented by a private residence in the Kerrisdale district.

Several scenes in Season 2 were filmed in False Creek, a short, narrow bay that separates the Downtown and West End neighborhoods of the city. The cast and crew even use Ancora Waterfront Dining and Patio, Yaletown, Jericho Beach Park, and the Vancouver Seawall to film important sequences.
For Season 3, the production team set up camp in and around the Vancouver Art Gallery, filming in the 1931 Gallery Bistro and the North and South Squares. They also use the soundstage in the town of Langley, which was formerly a retail space. Finally, familiar local locations such as Granville Island and Deep Cove appear in the background of many scenes.
