Certainty and clarity build relationships. We have experience in negotiating and drafting agreements that provide certainty and clarity in government-to-government and nation-to-nation relationships.
We work with our clients to build strong relationships among governments, proponents and other Indigenous communities through various agreements. Our team will make sure that every agreement negotiated with government or industry is unique, fits the particular circumstances and relationship and meets our clients’ needs, without compromising their section 35 rights.
Our team also has experience in drafting agreements that flow from Recognition of Indigenous Rights and Self-Determination (“RIRSD”) tables. RIRSD tables can lead to agreements that further reconciliation between Indigenous communities and the Crown based on mutual recognition and respect.
Our work includes negotiating, drafting, implementing and advising on:
- revenue-sharing agreements
- reconciliation agreements
- collaboration agreements
- Impact Benefits Agreements (“IBAs”)
- protocols between Indigenous governments and other governments and organizations
