About

Provided by Stikeman Elliott LLP

Stikeman Elliott’s national power practice supports clients through all phases of conventional and renewable power projects and related transactions. Clients benefit from our extensive experience and expertise to identify and address any and all risks that may arise. Our complementary regulatory and commercial expertise takes clients from initial development and permitting phases through commercial operations. We also have substantial dispute resolution experience in the power sector, having represented clients in major arbitrations, administrative hearings, trials and appeals, including to the Supreme Court of Canada.

In light of the increasingly complex world in which energy businesses operate, Stikeman Elliott also provides in-depth expertise in such critical areas as market design/evolution, environmental law and Aboriginal relations. Clients will be able to quickly identify and work constructively with stakeholders and Aboriginal groups to win the necessary acceptance and social license that are increasingly critical to the success of many power
projects.

Our deep and broad client base extends across the sector. Stikeman Elliott represents domestic and international project developers, utilities and financial players, as well as regulatory and government agencies. Developers, lenders and purchasers on some of Canada’s largest generation and transmission projects have relied on our counsel. www.canadianenergylaw.com
