The ‘strategic’ team at Fasken is routinely instructed by clients in the energy, oil-and-gas, mining, forestry, real estate, transportation and aquaculture sectors for its expertise in M&A, securities and tax transactions, as well as litigation involving Indigenous issues. The practice is directed by Vancouver-based Kevin O’Callaghan, who specializes in litigation, Indigenous consultation and regulatory mandates, and environmental assessments. Additional names to note include Quebec City-based associate counsel Pierre-Christian Labeau, who majors on legal and policy issues relating to mining, forestry and energy development, including the duty to consult; and Calgary-based Brenden Hunter (energy regulatory, Indigenous and environmental matters). ’Collaborative, solutions-oriented’ Kai Alderson, who is based in Vancouver, focuses on corporate transactions and joint venture agreements, as well as on project development mandates. The practice was strengthened with the January 2024 arrival of former Justice Minster of Canada Hon. David Lametti KC.
