Prominent law firm adds Aboriginal-law expert

Renowned negotiator of First Nations legal issues and business-law expert W. Thomas Molloy is one of four new appointees at Miller Thomson, the nationally known business-law firm. Molloy will be based in the Saskatchewan office, where he will form part of its Aboriginal law team. Aboriginal law is a fast-growing field as potash and oil and gas development require meaningful consultation with First Nations. Among Molloy’s accomplishments are negotiated treaties with the Nisga’a of British Columbia as well as lead negotiator of the team that helped create Nunavut.
