- developing strategies for agreements on comprehensive land and resource management
- advising on collaborative decision-making and revenue and benefit sharing
- advising on implementation of historical treaties
- negotiating and advising on consultation processes, and reconciliation and accommodation agreements
- assisting Aboriginal governments, at the community and Nation level, in negotiating agreements for past, ongoing and future impacts, including those related to hydro-electric, mining, forestry, and other land use activities
- advising on strategic land and water use negotiations
- advising on environmental assessments and regulatory proceedings related to proposed projects
- developing and negotiating servicing agreements with neighbouring municipalities for water, sewer, fire protection, police and other local services
- negotiating additions to reserve lands
