Sean Wallace > Norton Rose Fulbright > Calgary, Canada > Lawyer Profile

Well weighted between transactional and regulatory work, Norton Rose Fulbright’s oil and gas team represents key domestic and global industry players on large-scale M&A, project development, corporate finance and regulatory proceedings, including environmental and Indigenous law-related issues. The firm’s formidable transactional bench benefits from the senior experience of overarching Canadian energy head Robert Froehlich, who recently advised Veren (formerly Crescent Point Energy) on its C$600m disposal of certain non-core assets to Saturn Oil & Gas. Other recommended transactional energy practitioners include go-to specialist Wayne Fedun and oil and gas practice lead Ryan Keays, who are highlighted together as ‘amazingly high-skilled lawyers’; KayLynn Litton, who is particularly recommended for M&A, joint ventures and midstream contracts; and senior associate Sean Wallace, who ‘has experience beyond his year of call’. On the regulatory front, Don Davies KC acts for oil and gas producers and pipeline companies, among other stakeholders, across a wide range of environmental, Aboriginal and constitutional proceedings. Canadian environmental head Alan Harvie is also noted.
