Our team members have worked at top-tier global law firms in Toronto, New York, London, Sydney and Dubai, allowing us to provide our clients with a unique reach into major global financial centres.

Our clients are involved in a wide variety of industries and include both public and private companies based in Canada, the U.S., Europe and elsewhere around the world – so many countries, in fact, that we’ve started to keep a map!

We also work with local entrepreneurs and start-ups doing great things in finance, tech, and alternative energy. We are proud to be both their lawyers and their friends.

Feel free to take a look at our “Spotlight Series” tab for some recent examples of the type of work our team loves to do.

We work on all types of corporate transactions including acquisitions, investments and arrangements involving both public and private companies. Many of our deals involve bespoke cross-border transactions. We also work closely with entrepreneurial founders, assisting them through all stages from incorporation to exit.

Our advice is both technical and strategic. We know first-hand what it is like to start a business and the challenges of growing a company. We understand what is truly important when contemplating a major strategic transaction, negotiating an agreement, or bringing on investors.

Most of all, we keep it simple: our work is defined by its clarity.

We are honoured to be the exclusive author of Canadian M&A articles for the highly respected global legal platform Chambers and Partners. Feel free to take a look at our ”Success Stories” tab for other recent examples of the type of work our team loves to do.
