Gavin S. Fitch , KC

Gavin Fitch is an award-winning lawyer and KC working in environmental, regulatory, energy permitting, and Indigenous law. He’s a respected and trusted advisor who provides sound, practical advice geared towards keeping his clients out of the hearing room. When necessary, however, he is a strong and fearless advocate, whether in negotiations or in a courtroom. Gavin’s extensive experience is based in administrative law, whether it relates to municipal, environmental, energy, regulatory, or Indigenous matters. A degree in journalism and his talent for writing give him an advantage in this area of law where most advocacy is written. In his environmental practice, he knows the important policy issues in detail and understands the delicate balance between environmental impact and economic development. He handles contaminated site litigation, as well as environmental approval and energy permitting processes for companies both provincially and federally under the Impact Assessment Act. Gavin’s experience covers mining projects, electric power facilities, including power plants, transmission lines and hydroelectric projects, as well as oil and gas facilities such as wells, pipelines, and processing plants.
