ABORIGINAL LAW

Roberts and Stahl provides a personalised approach to advising First Nations' peoples. We offer services to tribal councils, individuals and companies on a variety of matters which affect all aspects of First Nations' life and culture. Such services range from general advice on matters which face us all to complex tax saving initiatives and negotiation of joint ventures. We encourage and assist clients to save money in sensible, cost-effective ways and promote strong self-governance initiatives. The firm recognises the challenges that First Nations face on the road to self-governance and assists clients in overcoming some of these obstacles. We also recognise that the key to any successful self governing regime is a foundation of strong financial independence and well organised, effective management.

Some of the services we have provided and continue to provide include:

• litigation, including general civil litigation, employment benefit and property tax assessment appeals;

• assistance in various aspects of band governance including the development of taxation and other by-laws;

• assistance in corporate and business development for the benefit of all members including various aspects with respect to the construction and establishment of an industrial site;

• incorporation of various entities from corporations to cooperatives;

• negotiation of joint ventures;

• preparation of various agreements for business ventures and band management;

• assistance with all matters relating to housing initiatives;
