Find a Lawyer by selecting a Province
Recognition by Best Lawyers is based entirely on peer review. Our methodology is designed to capture, as accurately as possible, the consensus opinion of leading lawyers about the professional abilities of their colleagues within the same geographical area and legal practice area.
Best Lawyers employs a sophisticated, conscientious, rational, and transparent survey process designed to elicit meaningful and substantive evaluations of the quality of legal services. Our belief has always been that the quality of a peer review survey is directly related to the quality of the voters.
Energy Regulatory Law Definition
The energy industry is one of the most heavily regulated in Canada by federal, provincial, and municipal levels of government. Lawyers practicing in the energy regulatory area of law must have a comprehensive understanding of energy, environmental, and utility laws, policy, and regulation as it applies to producers of traditional and clean energy, regulated and deregulated utilities, third party energy suppliers, and energy users. Energy regulatory lawyers may be involved in utility rate cases, rate design, fuel cost adjustment proceedings, renewable energy and efficiency initiatives; open access transmission and distribution tariffs; market manipulation and market design; energy-related appellate litigation; energy marketing and trading; the regulatory and transactional aspects of mergers, acquisitions, and other transactions as well as the development, siting, and interconnection of energy projects; power production agreements; pipeline safety matters; natural gas and electricity coordination; and compliance.
