Environmental
Environmental risks can arise in virtually any aspect of business. Whether they occur in the context of a transaction, during project approval and development, or in the day-to-day operation of a business, proper assessment and management of these risks is critically important. Our goal is to ensure our clients are always aware of the current risks and prepared to manage any that may arise in the future.

The Environmental Group at Fraser Milner Casgrain LLP provides crucial strategic and governance advice to help clients understand and comply with the regulatory requirements imposed in Canada and abroad, in both operational and transactional contexts. Whether the issues impact energy, mining, forestry, real estate or financial services, our environmental lawyers have the experience to deliver timely, relevant, cost-effective responses and advice. Our group includes lawyers who are ranked nationally and internationally by leading publications as being among the top practitioners in the field. Our diverse backgrounds enable us to deal with the full range of environmental issues, from compliance, planning, approvals and regulatory matters, to clean-up, enforcement, director and officer liability, policy-making and litigation if needed.
