We have one of the most active power practices in Canada and are known for our leading transactional and regulatory counsel, advising on all forms of power generation technologies, including nuclear, as well as with the transmission, storage and distribution of electricity. We are highly regarded for our experience in the nuclear sector, having acted on many significant matters over the last 25 years.

Torys is frequently retained on the most challenging, innovative fist-of-type nuclear matters due to our significant experience advising on multi-year, multi-stakeholder projects and transactions that require not only a deep understanding of the law but also the political, commercial and societal challenges that may arise.

Our team provides comprehensive end-to-end support on nuclear power projects and transactions. We act for regional, national and international development companies, sponsors, utilities, governmental agencies, project lenders, technology developers, and engineering and construction companies on the development, permitting, licensing, construction, financing, operation, refurbishment, purchase and sale, used nuclear fuel and radioactive waste management and decommissioning of a variety of nuclear projects across Canada and internationally, including Small Modular Reactors (SMRs).
