Nicole Ward
I engaged Harry LaForme of Olthuis Kleer Townshend LLP to advise our community group on a sensitive land use and consultation matter involving state authorities. His deep expertise in Aboriginal Law was immediately apparent. Mr. LaForme’s background, including his recognition in Indigenous Practice, gave us immense confidence. He drew upon his extensive experience, including his work across the U.S., to craft a nuanced strategy that respected our traditions while navigating complex legal frameworks. His advice was not only legally sound but culturally informed, which was critical for our situation. He successfully helped us secure a meaningful consultation process, a result we were very pleased with. The only minor critique would be that during particularly busy periods, response times could occasionally stretch a bit, but his team always kept us in the loop. Overall, his guidance from Osgoode Hall Law School to his decades of practice was invaluable. We highly recommend him for matters requiring a sophisticated understanding of Indigenous rights.
