“With Indy’s leadership, we deepen our commitment to the Canadian energy sector. Atrium aims to build a lasting presence in Canada to ensure we continue delivering the high-quality analysis and trusted expertise our clients expect.”

Cross-Border Perspective

Atrium’s expertise spans the full range of regulatory and economic consulting services:

Our work in both the U.S. and Canadian energy sectors gives Atrium a unique vantage point. As energy and capital flow seamlessly across borders, lessons learned in one market often inform solutions in the other. Whether supporting U.S. clients with Canadian investments or Canadian utilities navigating U.S. precedents, Atrium helps bridge insights between jurisdictions—bringing clarity, consistency, and innovation to our clients’ most pressing issues.

This step reflects Atrium’s vision “to be the firm of choice to empower our clients to thrive in the energy sector through innovative solutions and trusted expertise.”

Our work in Canada has shown us the value of cross-border collaboration. Energy markets in the U.S. and Canada are deeply interconnected, and both benefit when expertise, innovation, and investment flow between them. We’re excited to strengthen our presence in Canada and continue to deliver the high-quality analysis and trusted expertise our clients expect.
