“Canadian law firms took top spots in 2022 North American M&A” by Zena Olijnyk, Canadian Lawyer Magazine

Canadian Lawyer Magazine quotes Calgary and Toronto lawyers Sarah Gingrich and Sean Stevens in an article on North American Merger & Acquisitions rankings for 2022.

Says Sarah Gingrich, Fasken partner and co-leader of the capital markets and M&A practice at Fasken: “We had a very busy year, across many sectors and are looking forward to the challenges of 2023. Transactions such as Rogers Communications’ C$4.25 billion and US$7.05 billion private placements of Senior Notes to support the acquisition of Shaw Communications, and Intertape Polymer Group’s US$2.6 billion sale to Clearlake Capital Group, are reflective of both the trust our clients place in Fasken and bench strength and capability of our team.”

Fasken partner and co-leader Sean Stevens says that “in general, we are expecting the first quarter to be slower, with the number of deals increasing as we move into the second quarter and beyond - companies with capital will always be looking to make strategic acquisitions and execute their business plans” He points out that private equity activity may not be as high as in the last couple of years, but “we expect PE firms will continue to do deals, particularly cross-border activity.”
