Oriented towards the midstream sector, Borden Ladner Gervais LLP’s oil and gas practice is recognized for its dominant regulatory offering, where it handles the gamut of contentious and non-contentious administrative proceedings, environmental law work and Indigenous law matters. The sizeable national team also brings to bear significant transactional capability. Calgary managing partner Alan Ross KC is highly regarded for his regulatory prowess. Other regulatory contacts include Calgary-based senior counsel Randall Block KC; Calgary-based oil and gas head Peter Bryan; and Vancouver-based environmental, municipal, expropriation and regulatory head Rick Williams, who also handles commercial work.
