Go-to Toronto-based specialist Leonard Griffiths co-heads the national department alongside Vancouver managing partner Radha Curpen. The deep bench also draws on Calgary-based regulatory lead Brad Gilmour; Toronto-based climate change co-head Sarah Gilbert, whose practice spans a mix of environmental, and health and safety issues; and Calgary-based energy regulatory specialist Martin Ignasiak, who recently joined the team from Osler, Hoskin & Harcourt LLP.
