Canada > Energy and natural resources > Oil and gas

Particularly prominent in the regulatory space, Dentons’ oil and gas practice additionally houses a thriving transactional offering. The Calgary-based team is arguably best known for its expertise in the midstream sphere, where it is frequently engaged to advise domestic and multinational energy clients on pipeline-related work. The upstream sector is another key source of mandates. Transactional partner George Antonopoulos co-heads the department and recently advised Enbridge on its C$400m acquisition of the Aitken Creek natural gas storage facilities from FortisBC Holdings. Seasoned counsel Michael Hurst is also noted for energy deals. Group co-head Bernard Roth is a go-to specialist in oil and gas regulation, with Laura Estep and Dan Collins also highly regarded for regulatory work.
