Lawson Lundell LLP’s focus on Western Canada pays dividends in a regionally oriented client base that includes utilities, power companies and government entities. Particularly well known for its strength in the regulatory and projects spheres, the group also stands out for its ability to link up with the firm’s leading Indigenous law team. Jeff Christian (Vancouver/Calgary) is a go-to regulatory expert and recently acted alongside commercial energy partner Lana Shipley (Vancouver) to represent the Province of British Columbia and BC Hydro in ongoing renegotiations with the US regarding the Columbia River Treaty. Other regulatory specialists include group head Clara Ferguson (Vancouver/Calgary), Ian Webb (Vancouver) and Michael Donaldson KC (Calgary).
