Energy & Natural Resources: Mining

In the complex legal environment of the global mining industry, you need legal expertise that can cut through red tape, develop innovative, practical strategies and resolve complicated disputes

McCarthy Tétrault’s lawyers work under both common and civil law regimes and in numerous languages in key mining regions around the world, including Africa, Australia, Central and South America and China.

Our industry-focused practitioners have experience in a broad spectrum of mining, including base and precious metals, coal and diamonds, and have earned international recognition in numerous specialty areas including:

• Specialized mining agreements – Mining property and rights acquisitions, joint ventures, project development and financing, product offtake and royalty agreements

• Aboriginal issues – Virtually every mining project in Canada, and internationally, involves Aboriginal communities. We have one of the best Aboriginal law practices in the country

• Business law – As a mining client, you require a legal team that can also deliver quality advice on securities, international tax planning, mergers and acquisitions

• Litigation – Whether you are concerned about a mining property dispute, an environmental hearing or the interpretation of joint-venture agreements, we work actively to resolve your dispute through arbitration or in court
