Indigenous Law
Witten LLP is deeply committed to serving the unique legal needs of Indigenous communities. We take pride in acting as counsel to a number of First Nations and Métis Governments across Alberta, British Columbia and Saskatchewan, providing comprehensive legal support on a wide array of matters. Our expertise spans from providing assistance with issues of governance to offering strategic advice on corporate, commercial and litigation matters.
Our team is adept at navigating the complex intersection of Indigenous rights, natural resources and environmental matters. We have successfully negotiated with governments and resource companies on behalf of our Indigenous clients, addressing critical matters related to environmental protection and the sustainable development of natural resources.
Our team’s deep understanding of Indigenous Law, coupled with our respect for Indigenous cultures and traditions, allows us to provide legal services that are not only effective, but also culturally sensitive and respectful.
