Municipal Law
Our role
Facilitate your projects’ development within a complex regulatory framework and obtain the necessary authorizations and permits.
- A Strategic Perspective
A zoning change, a discretionary authorization, a municipal requirement, or a tax issue can quickly alter the course of a project. And since each municipality has its own rules and procedures, it is often necessary to understand the regulatory context before moving forward.
This is exactly the kind of obstacle BCF’s team knows how to overcome. Accustomed to working in complex municipal environments, our team quickly assesses the situation and knows exactly how to proceed with the appropriate authorities.
- Agile Expertise
From the very first discussions with a municipality, our team helps you understand the authorities’ expectations, obtain the necessary authorizations, and anticipate anything that might speed up your plans.
Whether it involves obtaining permits, ministerial authorizations, taxation, access to information, or development agreements, we handle a wide range of situations where regulations can significantly impact the costs, timelines, or scope of an initiative. When regulations multiply and requirements pile up, we know how to find the best way to move your projects forward.
And when circumstances change along the way, we continue to forge ahead alongside you with a clear goal: to keep your ambitions on track and defend your rights in civil and administrative courts.
