Municipal Law

They say municipal government is closest to the people. That means municipal issues can hit closest to home. Our Municipal Law team brings you decades of experience advising municipal and local government entities in the full range of issues they face. We understand both the need to achieve pragmatic results that accomplish the local government’s intent and the high legal standards needed to create enforceable municipal bylaws, and can provide practical, experienced advice to local governments as they carry out their legislative functions. We act for municipalities, developers and other stakeholders in such key areas as:

  • Bylaw review, drafting, implementation, enforcement and prosecution
  • Construction and tendering
  • Council advice
  • Environmental issues
  • Expropriation
  • Governance and administration
  • Provincial and federal government interactions
  • Inter-municipal disputes
  • Inter-municipal service-sharing programs and agreements
  • Labour and employment
  • Land use
  • Local government restructuring, including amalgamation and dissolution
  • Municipal liability defence
  • Municipal Utilities
  • Pension and benefits
  • Planning and development
  • Procurement matters
  • Public-private partnering (P3)
  • Taxation and finance
