It comes as no surprise that the energy & natural resources sector continues to garner such monumental exposure as the global economy continues its attempt to absorb the shock of falling oil prices. Whereas the general population perceives the substantial decline in a purely negative context, the ‘glass-half-full’ industry advocates are first in queue to suggest that the current state of affairs paves way for a less fragmented player composition and, therefore, a more robust industry landscape in the near future. Furthermore, with this forced, detracted reliance on such a dominating energy resource, the doors may open more rapidly for the innovation, development and expansion into what have, traditionally, been viewed as secondary or supportive sector resources.
At McInnes Cooper, we believe in playing an active role in the advancement of our clients and the industries in which they progressively participate. As such, we believe our responsibility extends beyond providing basic, legal advice—we are your true advocates and we fulfill this role in the most literal sense— as demonstrated by our direct involvement in the most significant energy projects in Atlantic Canada.

We’ve been first hand witnesses to historical, volatile changes in the sector and we have observed its growth throughout such changes to ensure that our legal services solution is well equipped to meet the needs of an ever-changing landscape.
