About JFK Law LLP

JFK Law LLP is a national law firm with offices in Victoria and Vancouver, British Columbia, that represents Indigenous communities across Canada. It started in 2009 as JFK Law Corporation, based in Victoria and Vancouver, and became JFK Law LLP in 2021. Alongside its two British Columbia offices, the firm keeps a Toronto office in Ontario and offices in Montreal and Kahnawake, Quebec, giving Indigenous clients a local point of contact in three provinces.

The firm's practice covers Aboriginal rights and title litigation, Crown consultation and accommodation, complex negotiations with government and industry, Indigenous economic development and governance, and specific claims against Canada for historical breaches of treaty and fiduciary obligations. Its lawyers have argued cases in British Columbia, Alberta, Ontario and the Yukon, at every level of the Federal Courts and before the Supreme Court of Canada. In September 2016 the firm adopted a formal Reconciliation Action Plan and set up a Truth and Reconciliation Action Committee to guide staff training, pro bono work and community support alongside its Indigenous law practice.
