Minimize the Risks of Litigation and Project Delays By Understanding the Key Issues in Aboriginal Law

Aboriginal law is one of the most challenging and complex areas of law to master. For instance, the “honour of the crown” is a constantly evolving and difficult-to-define term. Also, the obligations for consultation and accommodation are completely different depending on a variety of factors which you must know. As well, determining the certainty of Aboriginal rights and title is becoming more of an issue everyday. And that’s just the beginning!

This unique, comprehensive course, taught by leading experts, will provide you with practical coverage of the fundamentals of Aboriginal law and practice in Canada, including:

  • Reviewing the essential laws and statutes that impact your work
  • Preparing for the latest trends in litigation with INAC
  • Avoiding project delays by understanding and fulfilling your duty to consult and accommodate
  • Knowing how the Crown’s fiduciary duties affect you
  • Making lasting and binding agreements with Aboriginal communities
  • Practical tips to address tax issues to minimize expensive mistakes when planning your projects on reserves

PLUS! Make sure to take advantage of our half-day, post-program Masterclass, Developing a Model Impact Benefit Agreement.
