Fasken’s energy team maintains a strong base in Vancouver in addition to its Calgary platform, which translates into a broad national practice that enjoys close relationships with utilities, including FortisBC and FortisAlberta. The group’s regulatory focus is supplemented by expertise in environmental and Indigenous law, while it can also lean into the wider firm’s robust corporate offering. Vancouver-based Ron Ezekiel advises on commercial and regulatory work and co-heads the energy and climate department. Other recommended practitioners include Vancouver-based energy and regulatory litigator Matthew Ghikas; Montreal-based energy and environmental law partner André Turmel; and Calgary-based transactional specialist Brendan Sawatsky.
