Public Law

Public Law deals with the relationship between the state and the individual or body corporate. It differs from most private law matters, because of the constitutional or statutory framework affecting that relationship. If you have an administrative or constitutional law problem, you are facing criminal or regulatory charges, or you need advice on how to work with government, you can turn to McInnes Cooper.

You can’t match the resources the state can mobilize so it’s essential to understand your rights and the rules that govern the behaviour of government or bureaucracy. We have lawyers with a unique blend of experience to help you through the most difficult problems. We combine in-depth understanding of government and administrative processes with a thorough knowledge of business and commercial realities in Atlantic Canada. Our ability to mobilize the resources you need across this region is unequalled. Whether your issue is government procurement, natural resource rights, energy or environmental regulation, tax issues, municipal or aboriginal law, judicial review of administrative action, statutory appeals, representation at public inquiries or royal commissions, constitutional and Charter of Rights litigation or government relations, we can help.
