Based in Calgary, managing partner Alicia Quesnel is one of Canada's top transactional oil and gas lawyers. She ably assists major energy companies with M&A and project development matters, as well as advising on related regulatory compliance. "She is intellectually superior to any other lawyer I have worked with, but she is also able to ground her advice in practicality - which is important." "We rely wholeheartedly on her to represent our interests. She is extremely strong in her skills, but she is also practical and solutions-oriented. She gets along very well with lawyers on the other side too, but keeps our interests in mind always."
