McInnes Cooper knows oceans. With our experience, knowledge and connections in established and new ocean industries, we can help you take advantage of the dynamic opportunities across Canada and around the globe.
The ocean economy is immersed in a complex and evolving body of law. We’ve been navigating these waters with our clients since before Confederation, helping them steer the business, policy and legal course to their goals. We continue to be at the helm, helping shape the laws and policies necessary to realize new oceans opportunities.
Our clients are as diverse as the ocean. They’re technology start-ups, SMEs, international industry leaders and regulatory bodies, active in ocean technology, aquaculture, wild capture fisheries and offshore energy, located from coast-to-coast-to-Arctic coast across Canada and around the world. McInnes Cooper has the depth to help our clients and you succeed in the ocean economy.
