Overview

We have experience in a wide range of industries in a multitude of regions. We’ll raise strategies that you might not have considered, creating better options to complete transactions on time and on budget.

We manage both equity and debt transactions. Our expertise includes IPOs, private placements and PIPEs, senior, high yield and convertible debt, retail structured products and hybrid products, rights offerings, capital pool companies (CPCs), investment funds and capital reorganizations.

While we work with large corporations issuing securities and investment banks underwriting deals, we also represent small and mid-cap companies and institutional investors. Our clients include many of the companies listed on the TSX, TSX-V, NEO, NYSE, LSE, JSE and AIM.

The mining, energy, life-science, communications and technology expertise at Fasken is recognized as among the best in Canada and South Africa.

We are also Canada’s market leader in Capital Markets thought leadership, providing comprehensive and timely insights across corporate finance, securities, IPOs, private placements and PIPEs – among other key developments in this ever-evolving sector. This includes our guide to IPOs and Going Public in Canada as well as our annual PIPE Deal Point Study.
