Energy & Natural Resources: Practice Group Profile

Clark Wilson LLP has brought together lawyers with a range of legal skills, as well as direct energy sector experience, to create a team that understands and provides solutions to industry-specific legal issues. As BC’s law firm for business, we can bring a unique, local perspective to legal issues relating to the energy & natural resources sector in British Columbia.

Our lawyers have experience in onshore and offshore oil and gas exploration and development issues, underground natural gas storage, transmission and marketing, alternate and green power energy projects, as well as the regulation of electricity generation and transmission. We also advise clients involved in other natural resource sectors including mining and mineral exploration (including industrial minerals), forestry and sport fishing.

Our team of energy lawyers includes two former in-house counsel and a former geologist who add value to every Clark Wilson LLP energy file. We represent energy businesses, utilities, mining companies, entrepreneurs, investors, consultants in a variety of disciplines, Aboriginal peoples, governments and industry associations. For examples of our experience, see our listing of representative work.

Clark Wilson LLP regularly authors and presents papers to law and technical symposia and conferences in Western Canada. All our papers and presentations are available on this website.
