Businesses operate in a regulated work environment, subject to market, industry, consumer, professional, financial and environmental regulatory oversight.  DJA provides legal expertise and effective advocacy in every phase of the regulatory process, representing clients in investigations and prosecutions before a wide range of governmental and administrative bodies.

Every regulator has its own authority and culture. We know the importance of understanding the mandate and priorities of each regulatory body we appear before, allowing us to tailor a strategy to obtain the best result possible for our clients.  Although the best result for our clients is to avoid a regulatory proceeding, DJA has the experience and ability to defend any proceeding initiated against our clients.

DJA’s lawyers are recognized in the area of regulatory litigation. Lexpert® recognizes Craig Dennis, K.C. as a leading lawyer in the area of regulatory and public law, while Best Lawyers in Canada™ has recognized Craig in this area since 2013, naming him “Lawyer of the Year” in Administrative and Public Law in Vancouver in 2015 and 2018.
