I work with clients on issues at the intersection of Indigenous rights, governance and the environment. I am passionate about helping clients protect and advance their Aboriginal and treaty rights throughout their traditional territories. This includes advocating for them in the courtroom and at the negotiating table, as well as helping them navigate complex environmental and regulatory processes. I enjoy working with Indigenous clients to understand their unique history and circumstances, so that together we can craft a legal strategy tailored to their specific needs.
