Bennett Jones LLP’s power practice forms a key part of its signature energy offering. Combining strong skill sets in transactional and regulatory work, the group is particularly distinguished by its projects expertise, where it works closely with the firm’s prominent infrastructure unit. The national power and renewables team is co-led out of Calgary by transactional partner David Macaulay, who specializes in power projects, joint ventures and M&A deals, and energy regulation head Martin Ignasiak. Calgary-based regulatory partner Jessica Kennedy is also noted for her experience across the full range of power generation, transmission and distribution matters.
