Up here, the law looks different. We've spent years working through the unique challenges that come with practicing in the North - from treaty negotiations on frozen lakes to injury cases involving equipment that failed at -40. Whatever legal issue you're facing in these territories, we've probably seen something like it before.
Protecting traditional rights and navigating treaty obligations across northern communities.
We work directly with First Nations, Inuit, and Metis communities on everything from land claims to consultation rights. Been doing this since 2008, and yeah, we've sat through more community meetings in band offices than we can count. It's not glamorous work, but it matters.
Talk to UsHandling mining permits, environmental assessments, and resource development disputes.
Mining companies, environmental groups, local governments - we've represented them all. The North's got resources everyone wants, and somebody's gotta make sure the paperwork's done right and the land doesn't get trashed in the process. That's where we come in.
Get StartedProperty purchases, leases, and title issues specific to territorial and reserve lands.
Buying property up here isn't like down south. You've got territorial leases, Crown lands, reserve boundaries - it's complicated. We'll walk you through it, make sure you actually own what you think you're buying, and handle all the bureaucracy that comes with northern real estate.
Learn MoreWorkplace accidents, vehicle collisions, and injuries unique to arctic conditions.
Slipped on black ice? Frostbite from faulty gear? Snowmobile accident on the ice road? We've handled it. Cold weather adds layers of complexity to injury cases that southern lawyers just don't get. Insurance companies know this - that's why you need someone who speaks their language.
Free ConsultationStarting and running businesses in isolated communities with limited infrastructure.
Running a business in Yellowknife is one thing. Running one in a community accessible only by ice road half the year? That's different. We help entrepreneurs and companies navigate incorporation, contracts, partnerships, and all the logistical nightmares that come with doing business in the middle of nowhere.
Schedule CallIce road regulations, barge transport, and northern shipping route legal issues.
Ice roads, barges, winter supply runs - northern transportation isn't just trucks on highways. We handle accidents, cargo disputes, regulatory compliance, and everything else that happens when you're moving goods and people across frozen lakes and through the Northwest Passage.
