The firm provides international scope to clients through an office presence in New York (practising only Canadian law) and through relationships with a network of global partner firms. Oil and gas has long been part of the firm’s identity, and it performs strongly on transactions and disputes in the space, including international arbitration.

It performs strongly as local counsel on inbound oil and gas transactions and offers experience leading outbound work for Canadian energy companies into the US and globally.
