Regulatory, Administrative and Public Law
Businesses in Canada often face material regulation that has an impact on how and when they invest, compete, and operate. Much of this regulation increasingly has global aspects and considerable complexity that requires substantial expertise across the economy and a thorough understanding of the more heavily regulated industries.
We have a group of regulatory lawyers that works closely with our corporate colleagues to ensure compliance with regulatory laws and, where necessary, challenge the application of those laws to our clients.
