His areas of practice are a testament to his commitment to advocating for Indigenous rights, navigating the intricacies of administrative law, and championing environmental law and climate change issues. Through his diverse experiences and educational background, Keith brings a unique perspective to the firm, bolstered by his deep-rooted connection to his Indigenous heritage and his passion for justice in environmental and Aboriginal law spheres.
