What we do

Five things make up the work. Most mandates draw on three or four of them, and Indigenous relations runs through most of them.

Commercial strategy

Partner and investor terms, offtake and service discussions, adviser scopes and the materials an investment committee needs.

→

Negotiations

Benefit, participation, employment, procurement and equity agreements — readiness and strategy through to implementation.

→

Indigenous and government relations

Rights holder mapping, engagement that starts early, funding programs and regulatory correspondence.

→

Specialist diligence

Technical estimates, schedule, ownership verification and the checks that make a commitment defensible.

→

Execution planning

Work packages, sequencing, mobilization and reporting through construction, commissioning and operations.

→

Sectors

We work across energy and infrastructure.

Energy

Oil and gas, hydrogen, low-carbon fuels and transmission.

Why it matters

Indigenous partnership is already part of the economic reality.

What changes is how early incoming companies treat it. We publish what participation involves, what it costs to leave it late, and how a first conversation should go.
