Fasken Martineau DuMoulin LLP announced the formation of a multi-disciplinary practice group focused on National Security and Critical Infrastructure Protection.
“Businesses are increasingly confronted by situations involving national security – situations that, pre-pandemic, would never have attracted the same level of scrutiny from governments, politicians, and security agencies,” said Marcia Mills, co-leader, National Security at Fasken, in a prepared statement.
“National security is not a defined term in Canadian law. It is what government says it is and for this reason, individuals, investors, and businesses are vulnerable to unpredictable and even arbitrary action by government – action that can reduce profit margins, disrupt deals, and even end commercial viability,” said Andrew House, co-leader, National Security, at Fasken.
Fasken’s National Security Group includes senior legal, policy, and government relations practitioners from multiple practices and all regions of Canada. Areas of focus include: foreign investment, essential business regulation, critical infrastructure protection, procurement and government contracts, privacy and cybersecurity, export controls, economic sanctions and controlled goods, white-collar defence and investigations, and government security clearances.
