The OKT Law Team
OKT’s lawyers have been advocating for Indigenous communities for decades – as lawyers, and as leaders and members of Indigenous communities and governments. We hire smart lawyers dedicated to advancing the self-determination and success of Indigenous peoples in a wide range of areas of Canadian law.
OKT has more lawyers recognized by Lexpert as leaders in the field of Aboriginal law than any other firm in Canada.
We make it our priority to hire indigenous people at all levels in our firm and are committed to training Indigenous lawyers. OKT is committed to developing Indigenous leadership in the law, we work actively to support the development of Indigenous lawyers serving Indigenous communities.
