The ability of lawyers to practice more freely from jurisdiction to jurisdiction within Canada, likely has come at a very good time for lawyers involved in the energy sector. Clients who previously had focused in the energy sector in Alberta, now appear to have interests in all or most of the jurisdictions mentioned above.
