We are pleased to share that Cochrane Sinclair has been ranked Band 2, Nationwide – Canada, for Aboriginal Law – Representation of Indigenous Peoples in Chambers Canada 2027. This recognition belongs to the firm and reflects the work of the team that supports Indigenous Peoples and Nations across a wide range of legal matters.
Chambers Canada assesses law firms within specific practice areas and jurisdictions. Its research considers a firm’s work, feedback from clients and other references, legal ability, client service, and other professional qualities. The resulting rankings are published in bands, with Band 1 being the highest.
The matters our clients bring forward can involve questions about rights, lands, governance, and the relationship between Indigenous Peoples and the Crown. Each has its own history and priorities. Supporting clients through that work requires careful preparation, sound legal judgment, and a clear understanding of what they seek to achieve.
“This recognition reflects the dedication of our entire team and, most of all, the trust our clients place in us. We are grateful for the opportunity to support Indigenous Peoples and Nations in work that matters to their communities.”
Harold (Sonny) Cochrane, K.C.
Co-Managing Partner
The ranking acknowledges a collective effort. Lawyers and staff across the firm contribute their knowledge, judgment, and care to the work we do for clients. Chambers Canada 2027 also recognizes Robert Freedman and Maxime Faille individually in Aboriginal Law – Representation of Indigenous Peoples. We congratulate them both on their recognition.
“We are proud to see the firm’s work recognized nationally. This ranking speaks to the strength of our team and our shared commitment to providing clear, effective counsel that responds to each client’s priorities.”
