1. Advising in complex negotiations relating to the recognition and implementation of Indigenous rights including the inherent right of self-government;
2. Advising in provincial, federal, and/or Indigenous environmental assessment;
3. Modern treaty negotiations and/or enforcement;
4. The Indigenous/natural resource sector (forestry, mining, renewable energy, pipelines, nuclear, hydro, etc.).
The successful candidate will be a mid-level associate looking to become part of a dynamic national practice dedicated to assisting Indigenous clients.
Gowling WLG employees benefit from a hybrid work environment.
The salary range for this position is $127,000 to $157,000 annually: the base pay offered may vary depending on Year of Call, specific practice-related knowledge, skills, experience, internal and market equity.
