Overview

Georald’s practice is focused on securities and capital markets, mergers and acquisitions, shareholder activism and corporate governance. As a senior partner, Georald’s services are highly sought after by Canadian and international corporations, underwriters and investors, primarily in the mining industry, as well as the technology, life sciences and other sectors.

Management teams and board of directors rely on Georald’s depth of experience and expertise advising on complex and multi-jurisdictional transactions, including debt and equity financings, take-over bids, plans of arrangement, amalgamations, going-public transactions, private equity transactions and strategic investments.

Clients value Georald’s strategic advice on transactional matters and in contested situations, including as independent counsel to boards of directors and special committees during strategic review processes and over the course of merger and acquisition transactions, including hostile and friendly take-over bids and proxy contests.

Georald has been repeatedly recommended by the Canadian Legal Lexpert Directory in the areas of Corporate Finance & Securities, Mining and Private Equity, and has been recognized for Mining Law since 2018 and for his Corporate Governance practice by The Best Lawyers in Canada.
