Fasken provided legal advice on free trade agreement issues related to government funding for the electric vehicles industry. We offered strategic guidance for their dealings with the government regarding the development of funding programs for the industry. Our mandate included identifying potential legal risks of free trade agreement violations arising from these programs and recommending measures to mitigate or eliminate the risk of complaints. In this context, Fasken delivered a legal opinion and reviewed the client’s lobbying strategy, considering both the local subsidiary and the US parent company. This strategic advice is highly valuable to the client as it impacts their eligibility for government funding.
