He has advised both oil companies and landowners with respect to royalty disputes, offset well obligations and other leasehold issues. Brett also provides advice and recommendations to freehold mineral owners respecting the negotiation of both mineral and surface leases. In addition, he has represented both freehold mineral owners and oil and gas companies with respect to the transmission of mineral and surface interests from estates to beneficiaries, estate planning for freehold mineral owners with respect to oil and gas rights and the leasing of mineral rights from an estate in Saskatchewan.

Brett also provides representation to a number of mining companies with respect to the acquisition, maintenance and development of their potash, uranium, coal, clay and gold and other precious metal mining operations throughout Saskatchewan. Brett has acted for both vendors and purchasers of mining rights in Saskatchewan and has worked extensively with the LAND system of real property registration as well as the Ministry of Energy and Resources system of registration.
