About Jacob Roth
Jacob Roth is the founder and Chief Executive Officer of Campst. He is an Alberta regulatory lawyer and energy infrastructure developer with experience in private legal practice and in-house renewable energy development.Jacob began his career practicing regulatory and environmental law at Blake, Cassels & Graydon LLP. He later moved into project development, where his work included project origination, AUC facilities applications and proceedings, permitting strategy, municipal coordination, project financing, investor reporting and the management of legal, environmental, engineering and commercial workstreams.This combination of legal training and developer side experience informs the practical approach taken by Campst and JRPC. Our advice goes beyond identifying applicable regulatory requirements to consider how they affect project design, scheduling, financing, risk allocation and the client’s next decision.
Legal Services
Justice may be blind — but we aren’t.We identify siting, regulatory, and permitting risk before it becomes delay, cost, or litigation.
Due Diligence: legal and regulatory due diligence for project financing and project M&A.
Transactions: drafting and negotiation of asset purchase agreements, share purchase agreements and related transaction documents.
Project Agreements: drafting and negotiation of crossing agreements, non-objection agreements and related infrastructure agreements.

Regulatory Checklists: practical application, permitting and compliance checklists tailored to the project and approval pathway.
