Norton Rose Fulbright’s power practice is commended for its its ‘excellent breadth and depth of knowledge’. The sizeable national group maintains platforms throughout British Columbia, Alberta, Ontario and Quebec, while — as a global firm — it also stands out for its cross-border prowess. Department head Matthew Keen splits his time between the Vancouver and Calgary offices and is highly regarded for his regulatory expertise; he paired up with Vancouver-based Michael Manhas to represent the Association of Major Power Customers of BC in a rate application before the BC Utilities Commission. Calgary-based projects and infrastructure specialist David Eeles and Ottawa-based project finance partner Alison Babbitt are also names to note.

‘I have worked with the lawyers from NRF for close to a decade. It is a testament to the firm’s succession-planning skills that when our first legal advisor retired he was replaced with a new, high-quality lawyer. Lawyers we deal with are reliable and deliver high-quality work when we need it.’
