Mining

Whether operating in Canada or abroad, mining companies must take care to comply with international and domestic laws and guidelines, and demonstrate their commitment to social responsibility. As global demand for resources continues to escalate, new mines will open and existing mining operations will be modernized. The continued strength of the Canadian mining industry has made Toronto the centre of the world mining industry’s financial markets. Risk mitigation is key, and it is essential to engage legal counsel that has deep knowledge of the business and legal requirements applicable to the resource industry that can assist you with issues and matters that span the mining sector.

Our lawyers act for domestic and international mining companies that are at all stages of development, from prospecting to production. We serve as ongoing counsel to clients, helping clients raise project finance and achieve merger, acquisition, joint venture and partnership opportunities. We also help them maintain best practices in sensitive areas such as the environment, anti-corruption and bribery, labour relations and Aboriginal engagement, and assist clients with a range of non-transactional matters, such as corporate governance, taxation, title reviews and royalty arrangements.

We take a multi-disciplinary approach to advising mining companies and interested stakeholders. We engage our commercial, corporate, tax, environmental, governance, property and Aboriginal law experts as necessary to ensure clients receive excellent advice that is tailored to their needs.
