Energy

The energy industry is one of the most important contributors to Canada’s economy. A law firm serving the Canadian energy industry and its suppliers must be national and full service.

No other Canadian law firm has Fraser Milner Casgrain LLP’s (FMC) depth of energy expertise across the country, from oil and gas, including oil sands and LNG - to power – including renewables like wind, hydro and biomass – to pipelines, energy services and infrastructure - to utilities. All of that is supported by vital public policy advice and representation in Ottawa and the provincial capitals.

We advise clients undertaking domestic and international energy projects in critical areas such as project finance, commercial contracts, taxation, siting, permitting, environmental assessment and other regulatory matters as well as dealings with aboriginal communities. We regularly assist industry participants with corporate and asset acquisitions and dispositions. We advise large industrial end-users on energy cost hedging strategies, emissions trading and energy contracts. Others seek our assistance in navigating the immigration requirements for multinational employers. Our clients value our industry-wide expertise and the convenience of one-stop legal shopping. We are all about service.
