Norton Rose Fulbright
Norton Rose Fulbright’s environmental group maintains a broad sector focus but it is arguably best known for its activity in the energy and transportation spheres. Calgary-based Alan Harvie heads the department and has a significant energy dimension to his practice. Up-and-coming Vancouver-based litigator Michael Manhas is also noted. Former department co-head Max Collett departed in June 2023.
