For more than a decade, Cohen Highley LLP has been one of the leading firms in this specialized area of practice. It has been our privilege to represent First Nations and their members on a wide range of issues in the courts, at the negotiating table, in the boardroom, and at the community level.

The needs of First Nations and their members are not confined to native law, however; in fact, as First Nations assert themselves as a social and economic force in this country, they have used our services to assist them in advancing these goals. We are fortunate at Cohen Highley LLP to provide to First Nations and their members a full range of legal services including corporate and real estate advice, advice on environmental and regulatory issues, economic development and power generation issues, employment and education issues.

The lawyers at Cohen Highley LLP have assisted First Nations and their members with the following:

Land claims and land use issues including, hunting and fishing rights and aboriginal water rights;

Environmental and energy issues;

Election codes, tuition agreements, membership issues, residential schools matters, policy review and development;

Landlord and Tenant issues, contracts, incorporation, and taxation issues;

Wills and Estates, Labour and employment.

At Cohen Highley LLP, we are aware of and sensitive to the historic and ongoing barriers that have limited the progress of First Nations. We are committed to assisting First Nations in achieving their goals in a manner that is consistent with their distinct aboriginal cultures.
