Energy & Environmental Law

Exceptional Energy & Environmental Law Services

Environmental law is a patchwork of everything, but nothing. Environmental law involves various laws, multiple enforcing agencies, often duplicitous or conflicting governmental departments, all levels of government, and a broad spectrum of stakeholders. As anyone may imagine, the interests often impacted by environmental law are significant - the everyday lives of individuals, business endeavours, resource-based projects, and critical operations that affect our way of life. Energy development is trapped within the space of environmental law. Like never before in Canada, there is no end to the hot topics surrounding energy and environmental matters. Navigating the intricate legal landscape of energy and environmental regulations in Alberta and across Canada requires a knowledgeable and strategic legal partner. Our Calgary-based law firm is committed to providing comprehensive legal services catered to the evolving needs of businesses in the energy, infrastructure, and extractive industries.
