Canadian Lawyer Magazine quotes Toronto lawyer Grant McGlaughlin and John Turner in an article on Firm M&A activity in second half of 2020.
While there was a predictable lull in M&A activity accompanying the global descent into the COVID-19 pandemic, a sluggish spring was followed by a historic surge in deals in the tail-end of the year, which is expected to continue into 2021, say Fasken Martineau DuMoulin LLP partners Grant McGlaughlin and John Turner.
“Despite COVID, our securities and M&A group is having the busiest year in its history,” says McGlaughlin, co-leader of the firm’s private equity group.
