Overview
Our scope of experience in environmental work is supported by its breadth: from the industries and regions we serve to the range of services we provide, we manage complex environmental matters impacting our clients’ operations, projects and transactions, as well as disputes when they arise.
Our multidisciplinary team works across Canadian jurisdictions and diverse sectors to create clear pathways for clients to navigate complex regulatory frameworks. We support clients in managing the matrix of federal, provincial and territorial permitting, and we defend permits before administrative tribunals and the courts. We have deep experience in securing major environmental approvals for large, complex projects. Our clients receive bespoke strategies designed to both prioritize efficient application processing by regulatory authorities and minimize long-term litigation risks.
