Framing Commercial Agreements with Indigenous Partners

Build successful and respectful partnerships with our course on framing commercial agreements with Indigenous partners. Gain valuable insights and practical skills to create mutually beneficial agreements.

Description

Strengthen your business relationships with Indigenous partners in British Columbia with this webinar presented by a Partner from Clark Wilson LLP. Learn about common contractual arrangements, including impact benefit agreements and equity partnerships, to create mutually beneficial agreements while addressing key issues like employment.

Developing and maintaining good relationships with Indigenous partners is crucial to doing business in British Columbia. Contracting with Indigenous partners is no different than contracting with any other entity – Nations and Nation-owned entities will have their own unique motivations and interests, which will need to be balanced against what the partner business is trying to achieve. As with any other partner, exploring those interests and motivations, and negotiating a mutually beneficial arrangement is key. This course will explore a few common contractual arrangements between Indigenous and Indigenous-owned partners and non-Indigenous businesses and touch on some of the themes common to those arrangements.

Course Topics:

  • Contracting with a First Nation versus a First-Nation-owned company
  • Impact benefit agreements
  • Addressing side issues, including employment
  • Contractual partnerships and equity arrangements

    • Windows 10 or Mac iOS  

  1. Internet connection - For best results, you will want to ensure you have an internet connection with an upload/download speed of 3-5 Mbps. You can test your internet speed here.
