Our M&A team advises our clients on the most complex and noteworthy transactions and cross-border deals. The group also calls upon our deep bench for industry-specific knowledge and advice on regulatory matters including tax strategy, anti-trust and foreign investment, labour and employment, intellectual property, sanctions and corrupt practices and government relations. The Capital Markets group regularly acts for underwriters and issuers on Canada’s most complex corporate finance transactions.
