Cherie has an Indigenous law and commercial practice across a wide variety of sectors, including major energy infrastructure, transmission and mining projects. She also works directly with First Nations organizations to advise on economic development activities including project development and financing for major projects. She is also a trusted advisor to developers, borrowers, lenders and governments as they navigate complex permitting and approvals where projects may impact aboriginal rights and interests. Always pushing boundaries, Cherie will often provide strategic advice to governments and other authorities seeking to address barriers to participation faced by First Nations communities in the broader economy.
Industry clients in the natural resource, energy and infrastructure sectors will seek Cherie's counsel when developing projects or partnerships with Indigenous groups and addressing constitutionally protected interests of the Indigenous nations with which Canada shares its land and jurisdiction.
