Overview

Whether you’re an organization that wants to get involved in the political process or a candidate or  campaign manager we can give you confidence your plans are legally-compliant.

You’ll receive practical, accurate and timely advice from us. We’re experienced in campaign finance and elections as we’ve been deeply involved at all levels of politics and government in Canada. We know what it means to operate within the rules.

 

Fasken represents clients in high-profile matters involving campaign contributions, election spending, “third party” campaign activity (the closest thing Canada has to PACs), political fundraising, campaign advertising, electoral (or election) recounts, nomination contests, prohibited practices, constitutional rights, challenges, candidate issues, parliamentary procedure and administration of associations, among other topics.

 

Fasken lawyers regularly appear before the courts in election law cases, to advise on compliance and frequently testify on campaign finance law before parliamentary and legislative committees.
