Acting for a diverse mix of corporate and public sector clients, Borden Ladner Gervais LLP’s environmental practice is a popular choice for project-related matters, working closely with the firm’s prominent construction and infrastructure teams to handle approvals, environmental assessments and related litigation. The group also advises on transactions, regulatory compliance, closure planning and remediation. Vancouver-based national department head Rick Williams specializes in project development-related issues and environmental disputes. Toronto practice head Gabrielle Kramer is also highly recommended. In July 2024, environmental law-focused counsel Diana Weir joined in Toronto from Norton Rose Fulbright.
