Hall & Larocque

About Hall & Larocque

Hall & Larocque LLP is an Indigenous and business law firm with offices in North Vancouver, British Columbia, and Winnipeg, Manitoba. It's a 100% Indigenous owned and managed firm, led by founding partners Cody Hall, a member of Tzeachten First Nation, and Yvan Guy Larocque, a Manitoba Métis Federation citizen born and raised in Sainte-Anne, Manitoba. The firm's lawyers advise Indigenous governments, economic development groups, and Indigenous owned businesses across Canada on additions to reserve, impact benefit agreements, corporate structuring, financing, and mergers and acquisitions.

Larocque's path to the firm ran through the military before it ran through law school. Before becoming a lawyer, Larocque served in the Royal Canadian Navy and Royal Canadian Air Force, more than 20 years in total, reaching the rank of Petty Officer 1st Class. Larocque still teaches Indigenous economic development at the University of Manitoba's Robson Hall, oversees the school's L. Kerry Vickar Business Law Clinic, and co-authored The Taxation and Financing of Aboriginal Businesses in Canada, published by Thomson Reuters. Hall, meanwhile, chairs the BC First Nations Gaming Revenue Sharing Limited Partnership alongside a transactional practice based in the North Vancouver office.
