Our community council was navigating a particularly sensitive land use and consultation agreement, and we needed counsel with deep, respected expertise in Indigenous law. Anissa Chekir was recommended to us, and her involvement was transformative. While based in Montréal, her work with Gowling WLG provided a robust national framework perfectly suited to our needs in the Phoenix region. Her recognition by Best Lawyers in Aboriginal Law was immediately evident in her nuanced understanding of both legal precedent and cultural context. Anissa guided us through every negotiation with impeccable professionalism, ensuring our rights and perspectives were foregrounded.
