Blackgolds lawyers and advisors are sought out by clients for their insight and advocacy on cutting-edge legal issues at the intersection of business, government, and law. We leverage our unique understanding of economic and political infrastructure and firsthand high-level government experience to help our clients access the global marketplace and compete around the world.

The multidisciplinary practice represents both domestic and international clients on matters pertaining to health, trade, First Nations, tax, energy, environmental, financial services, communications, and transportation policy. Blackgold maintains a wealth of substantive relationships both at the municipal, provincial and federal level.

The explosive growth of government regulation and oversight over the years demands that corporate leaders think expansively and creatively when developing and implementing business strategies. Because the government has become a pervasive influence in virtually all private-sector activities, the analytical and planning process must encompass a careful evaluation of how government—municipal, provincial, federal or international—can, should and will impact desired objectives. Our regulatory legal team and advisors—all of whom advised many high profile candidates and elected officials —counsel clients on a broad range of issues impacting today’s business environment, energy, environment, communications, agriculture, privacy, and data protection.

Blackgold acts on complex, high-stakes commercial arbitration and investment treaty arbitration matters.
