OBA Aboriginal Law PROGRAM | Original Program Date: May 12, 2020

Drafting an economic development deal within an Aboriginal Community is a complex transaction that touches on many areas of law. Whether your legal practice deals with tax, real estate, mergers & acquisitions, financing arrangements, oil & gas, cannabis, tourism, and, any other sector where law and industry intersect, Aboriginal Economic Development is part of your work and will be an important consideration for your future practice. Aboriginal economic rights and the opportunities of Indigenous peoples must be considered in a business deal. When government approvals are needed, consideration must be given to the duties to consult and to accommodate. Understanding such matters in a business deal from the outset will directly impact the success of the project. Join us as our expert panel walks us through the “Who, What, Where, When and Why” of Aboriginal Economic Development, and discusses the implications for your future practice.

Come with your questions and join in the conversation!
