Our Aboriginal Law Group helps project
developers navigate the regulatory process in securing approvals for major
energy development projects, including consulting and negotiating with
Aboriginal groups and other stakeholders. We draw on our top-tier,
cross-departmental expertise in the energy, environmental, corporate
commercial, regulatory, litigation and tax arenas in shepherding significant
projects through to fruition. We structure and negotiate commercial agreements
for projects involving aboriginal rights and interests, as well as debt and
equity financing arrangements for projects on aboriginal lands or with
aboriginal participation.
We
understand the risks associated with Aboriginal
issues in the context of significant energy development project approvals and
work closely with our clients to devise an exposure management plan to identify
and manage potential litigation and other issues both pre- and post-closing,
including compensation, royalty, surface rights and land access issues. Our
unparalleled experience with major development projects enables us to forecast
outcomes with a high degree of accuracy.
