As a single-site Calgary practice, oil and gas work is a key pillar of Burnet Duckworth & Palmer LLP’s firm-wide offering. The group handles a broad array of energy-related transactions, development projects and litigation, with its industry expertise underpinned by solid skill sets in regulatory and environmental law. Managing partner Alicia Quesnel is widely regarded as a reference in the market and continues to maintain a leading transactional practice; she recently teamed up with up-and-coming transactional specialist Brittney LaBranche to represent LNG Canada on its negotiation of a revised agreement with Coastal GasLink Pipeline to allow for the continued execution of the approximately C$11.2bn pipeline project. Department head Carolyn Wright is also recommended for transactional work and recently acted alongside the corporate practice to advise Topaz Energy Corp on its C$450m acquisition program of manufactured royalties and infrastructure assets. The group additionally includes Ashley Weldon; newly promoted partner Aaron Rogers; talented associate Natasha Wood; and senior counsel Garth Parker, who joined in November 2022 from Inter Pipeline.
