Maurice Law Barristers & Solicitors.
Maurice Law is the first and largest Indigenous-owned national law firm in Canada. Since 2002, we have been the leading advocate successfully advancing historic Treaty and Aboriginal rights claims against the federal government.
Our firm has always been guided by a simple principle: justice should be accessible. That’s why we routinely accept cases for clients who cannot afford to pay legal fees up front.
We are proud of the significant results we have achieved – not only for our clients, but in advancing reconciliation for Indigenous communities across Canada. We also take our responsibility to reconciliation seriously – that’s why we donate a portion of the fees we earn back to our clients.
Our Key Values.
Our Practice Areas.
Maurice Law is a boutique firm renowned for its expertise in securing exceptional results through negotiation or litigation against the Government of Canada for failing to fulfill its obligations to First Nations. Since 2018, we have successfully helped First Nations secure billions of dollars in settlements and awards, including more than $2.5 billion in 2024 and 2025 alone. Maurice Law takes great pride in its proven track record and invites future clients to explore how our unique approach can support their legal needs.
