Gordon J. Kuski received his Bachelor of Laws from the University of Saskatchewan and was admitted to the bar in 1972, in Saskatchewan. He represented the Corporation of Catholic Entities Party to the Indian Residential School Settlement (CCEPIRSS) prior to, and during, the 2015 court case between CCEPIRSS and the Government of Canada (Fontaine v Saskatchewan (Attorney General), 205 SKQB 220). Kuski also sat on the board of CCEPIRSS.

Prior to the 2015 court case, Canada sought clarity on CCEPIRSS' implementation of the 2006 Indian Residential Schools Settlement Agreement. Specifically, in a 2013 Request for Direction, Canada queried CCEPIRSS’ deduction of its legal fees from its financial payments. Kuski was retained by CCEPIRSS on 21 February 2014. During the 2015 court case, he provided an affidavit in response to Canada’s Request for Direction and cross-examined Pamela Stellick, a senior analyst with Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development Canada (AANDC). Kuski also corresponded with Alexander Gay, counsel for the Attorney General of Canada, and it was as a result of Kuski and Gay’s negotiations that CCEPIRSS came to contend that a new settlement agreement had been reached between the Government of Canada and CCEPIRSS. In 2015, the court upheld Kuski’s contention, and the Catholic entities were absolved of any further legal or financial obligations under the 2006 Settlement Agreement. In 2016, Kuski represented the Merchant Law Group (MLG) after it was taken to court by the Government of Canada over $25 million Canada had paid the firm as part of the Settlement Agreement. MLG had dealt with over 7,000 legal claims by Survivors, and Canada alleged that the firm had committed fraud by inflating its billing, and thus that damages were due Canada.
