Overlapping Territorial Claims: Models for Dispute Resolution and Business Structures

Presented by the National Aboriginal Law Section and the Continuing Legal Education Committee of the Canadian Bar Association 

June 12-13, 2009
Delta Victoria Ocean Pointe Resort Hotel and Spa, Victoria, BC 

Mark your calendar! The 2009 National Aboriginal Law Conference will be taking place on June 12-13 in beautiful Victoria, BC. Register now and make plans to join us in Victoria for this not to be missed program!

Overlapping territorial claims are a significant barrier to the reconciliation of indigenous rights and customary law and the contemporary Canadian constitutional structure. This program will present tools for resolving overlapping claim disputes to achieve successful reconciliation initiatives.
 
Practical, solution oriented panels will explore indigenous legal approaches to overlap resolution, negotiated protocol agreements and third party dispute resolution models. Tools for structuring accommodation agreements with multiple Aboriginal parties, including business and tax structure opportunities, will also be examined. 

The Conference will be of interest to Aboriginal leaders, lawyers, federal, provincial and territorial officials and development company managers. It will feature a keynote address by Thomas R. Berger, O.C., Q.C. on Friday, June 12, as well as a cocktail reception generously sponsored by Devlin Gailus.
