Lawson Lundell LLP’s distinctive geographical footprint, which spans offices across Alberta, British Columbia and the Northwest Territories, uniquely positions it for energy and natural resources-related environmental work. Primarily noted for its formidable record in the mining area, the group also excels in the agriculture, forestry, energy, transport and manufacturing sectors. It further stands out for its ability to leverage its prominent Indigenous and dispute resolution practices for support on large-scale matters. In Vancouver, Brad Armstrong is a go-to environmental expert, with Laura Duke, Jennifer Nyland and Christine Kowbel also recommended. In Calgary, seasoned specialist John Olynyk and up-and-coming partner Shailaz Dhalla are noted.
