Hélène Héron joins the firm as partner
Fifteen years watching the shallows, now on our side of the water.
Habitat and land use
Your home is a wetland, not a future parking lot. We make sure the zoning board knows.
Shorelines, marshes and riverbanks are homes before they are views. We represent residents of the water’s edge before municipal councils, environmental tribunals and the occasional golf course.
What we handle
- Objections to rezoning and shoreline development
- Environmental assessments and protected area applications
- Nesting, denning and spawning ground protection
- Negotiations with developers who would rather not go to court
