Overview

As one of the first firms to establish a full English-Canadian law partnership, we speak from experience. Fasken represents clients in complex, and multijurisdictional matters, with a particular focus on corporate and financing transactions.

Fasken provides a gateway to English, European  and African brands seeking to enter the Canadian markets. We also facilitate market expansion for Canadian and other international companies entering London, the world’s leading financial centre, through our advice on transactions involving AIM and the London Stock Exchange.

As current trade agreements evolve, Fasken assists clients to navigate changing regimes, negotiating on their behalf and providing commercial business law services to reduce risk and ensure that every aspect of cross-border business proceeds smoothly.
