Aboriginal Law & First Nations Legal Issues - Davis LLP

The Davis LLP Aboriginal Law & First Nations Legal Issues Practice Group has almost 40 years of experience in this important sector.  We represent First Nations, Tribal Councils and Aboriginal non-profit organizations, businesses and individuals in British Columbia, the Yukon, the Northwest Territories, Nunavut and Alberta.

We regularly assist First Nations clients with land development, the structuring of business organizations, establishment of trusts, taxation issues, employment matters, issues relating to financing and numerous other aspects of economic development projects.

We provide land claims counsel to a number of First Nations in B.C. and the North, and we represent First Nations at all Court levels on a variety of issues of national importance.

Our offices in Vancouver, Whitehorse and Yellowknife enable our team members to provide on-the-ground legal services, precisely where our clients live and work.
