Legal Advisory Across Canada's North

Our practice focuses on business registration, resource development matters, and general legal consultation for individuals and businesses in Yukon, Northwest Territories, and Nunavut. We work with mining claims, exploration agreements, Indigenous benefit arrangements, and territorial incorporation processes.

We offer video consultations to accommodate clients in remote communities where in-person meetings may be challenging. Initial consultations typically last 45-60 minutes and provide an opportunity to discuss your situation and determine the appropriate next steps. Document review can be conducted electronically.

Processing times vary by territory and registration type. Simple extra-territorial registrations may complete in 2-3 weeks, while new territorial incorporations typically take 4-6 weeks. We work efficiently with territorial registries and keep you informed throughout the process.

We offer clear pricing for defined services such as business registration and initial consultations. For ongoing matters like resource development projects, we discuss appropriate fee structures during consultation. Our goal is to provide accessible legal services while maintaining quality.

While our practice concentrates on territorial matters, we understand that northern businesses often have connections to southern jurisdictions. We can coordinate with colleagues in other provinces when matters require multi-jurisdictional attention, ensuring your interests remain protected.

Bring any relevant documents, correspondence, or agreements related to your matter. For business matters, company registration information and relevant permits are helpful. For resource development, claim information and previous correspondence with regulatory bodies provide useful context. A brief written summary of your situation helps us prepare effectively.
