Invaluable guidance through complex Indigenous rights and environmental review

Our community council engaged Maya Stano to advise on a major infrastructure project proposed near our traditional territory. The intersection of provincial environmental regulations and our inherent Aboriginal rights created a daunting legal landscape. Maya’s deep expertise in both Aboriginal Law and Environmental Law was immediately apparent. She didn't just react; she developed a proactive strategy that respected our cultural values while rigorously engaging the regulatory process. Her 13 years of experience, including her recognition by Best Lawyers, translated into precise, authoritative counsel. Maya and her team at Sampson Davie Fane Volpiana LLP were exceptionally thorough, communicative, and fiercely dedicated to achieving a positive outcome. We secured meaningful accommodations and a stronger voice in the project's future, a result directly attributable to her skillful navigation of these complex, intertwined legal fields.
