Areas of specialization

Advice involving complex legal questions, and/or the need for extensive research.

• Regulatory & Resource Development

  Yukon’s mining, energy, and environmental sectors operate in complex regulatory environments. We provide research-intensive advice on mining legislation modernization, environmental assessments, water licensing, and energy development. Our approach ensures that resource development advances responsibly, with due regard for First Nations’ rights, interests, and priorities. We help clients navigate regulatory frameworks while building sustainable relationships with First Nations communities.

• Corporate & Commercial

  We serve as general counsel to Yukon businesses, providing strategic advice on governance, contracts, regulatory compliance, and risk management. Our advice takes into account the importance of maintaining positive relationships with First Nations communities—whether that means advising on joint venture structures, community benefit agreements, or business practices that support economic diversification and growth for all Yukon residents.

• Real Property & Land Development

  We advise on residential and commercial property transactions, land development projects, and property disputes. Our experience includes complex property issues arising in the Yukon context, including matters involving First Nations lands and community development projects. We work to resolve disputes in ways that preserve relationships and advance the priorities of all parties, including First Nations.

• Government & Policy Work

  We provide legislative drafting, policy analysis, and regulatory advocacy. Our expertise in research-intensive legal writing supports clients engaged in government relations, lobbying, and the development of legislation and regulations. We understand the intergovernmental dynamics that shape Yukon law and policy, including the critical role of First Nations in the territory’s governance and development.

• Civil Litigation

  When disputes arise, we provide experienced civil litigation representation. Our practice includes commercial disputes, property litigation, regulatory appeals, and fraud claims. We coordinate investigations and expert evidence to build strong cases for court and trial. In every matter, we consider the broader context of First Nations relationships and work toward resolutions that, where possible, advance mutual interests.
