MacBean Tessem has an origin which pre-dates Saskatchewan's birth as a Canadian Province. In 1905, the founding law firm of Smythe, Begg and Hayes opened its law offices in Swift Current, Saskatchewan, to serve the needs of a community that was growing and developing into a thriving business and agricultural centre.
