We are regularly part of corporate transaction teams, assisting with liability assessments as well as all other aspects of deals where environmental and occupational health and safety (EHS) law expertise adds value. We advise proponents and other corporations on the full range of EHS regulatory compliance, consumer protection, permitting and environmental/sustainability management-related matters. We also assist clients in all forms of dispute resolution with respect to administrative, civil and regulatory matters, including a substantial defence practice.
