Westaway Law Group Professional Corporation

General information

Westaway Law Group is very fortunate to bring over 20 years of experience in the area of service to Indigenous Nations and businesses across Canada. We bring expertise built from long relationships with First Nations, Inuit associations, Métis and associations, Tribal Councils, and the important economic development corporations and other businesses that do this important work throughout the various regions of Canada.

We are both litigators and negotiators, and we have appeared at all levels of Court including the Federal Court of Appeal and the Supreme Court of Canada most recently.

We currently have lawyers called to the bars of Ontario, Nunavut, and Manitoba, with permission to appear in Quebec.

Westaway Law Group also has a strong Supreme Court agency practice that services litigators across Canada who will appear before the Supreme Court of Canada in any matter. Our litigation expertise also includes specific experience before the Federal Court of Canada including the Federal Court of Appeal.

Finally, Westaway Law Group litigation experience has a special focus on the North. We have worked frequently in the Yukon, the Northwest Territories and in Nunavut. We are presently called to the bar in Nunavut and are ready to appear in matters in that region.

Westaway Law Group continues to provide both strategic legal advice as well as operating as the lead negotiator on several key Impact Benefit Agreement negotiations. We are also regularly involved in Specific Claim negotiations, global settlements, participation agreements with mining companies and other resource companies, forestry management planning negotiations, as well as wind farm and solar energy project talks.

Our lawyers are available to support any type of negotiation or settlement process that may arise for Indigenous Nations and associations across Canada.
