Our lawyers have the background knowledge to assist you. From the permitting and licensing stage of a project, including aboriginal consultation, through to appearances before regulatory tribunals (including the tribunals set up under the Nunavut Land Claims Agreement) and Courts (both Territorial and Federal).
