Arguably better known for its oil and gas offering, Dentons also houses a significant power practice that is particularly active in projects and M&A deals. Alongside its transactional capability, the team stands out for its cross-border firepower and routinely works with lawyers across the firm’s global network to advise on multi-jurisdictional matters. Energy regulatory head Bernard Roth (Calgary) is a key contact. Calgary-based partners Hazel Saffery and Laura Estep are also recommended for commercial and regulatory work, respectively. In October 2024, former department co-head Vivek Bakshi departed the firm together with Jamie Thomas.
