Over the course of the previous year, the field of Indigenous law has witnessed a notable surge in new policies, legislation and approaches in response to the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP).
This rapidly changing environment is marked not only by new fiscal and governance frameworks in a number of jurisdictions, but also increasing litigation challenging existing laws and regulatory processes.
Indigenous equity arrangements are becoming more common, with Indigenous governments often taking a lead role in major developments in Canada.
Join us for our annual Indigenous Law Update, where we will address the implications of recent developments for resource-based industries, infrastructure owners and other clients. As usual, we will cover the key themes in ongoing negotiation among commercial and Indigenous parties, as well as recent trends in litigation.
Following the presentations there will be a 15-minute Q&A.
