Highlighted as a leader for ‘regulatory and strategic policy development advice’, Norton Rose Fulbright’s power group is additionally equipped to handle transactions and project development. Regulatory specialist Matthew Keen (Vancouver/Calgary) heads the practice and recently advised the Alberta Electric System Operator on its successful application to the Alberta Utilities Commission for approval of its Demand Opportunity Service rate. Next-generation partner duo Kaitlin Long (Calgary) and Michael Manhas (Vancouver) are also noted for regulatory work. Traditionally focused on Western Canada, the team bolstered both its Toronto and transactional offerings with the recent hire of Blake, Cassels & Graydon LLP’s former power head Vivian Kung. Projects partners David Eeles (Calgary) and Alison Babbitt (Ottawa) are also recommended.
