Canada’s mergers and acquisitions market is one of the world’s most active and sophisticated, particularly in the mining, oil and gas, industrial products and real estate sectors. In choosing a Canadian law firm for a merger or acquisition, clients look for not only legal expertise but also industry knowledge. The M&A Group at Fraser Milner Casgrain LLP is one of Canada’s most experienced in the gold, metals and minerals, oil and gas, power, technology and real estate industries. Domestic and international clients, private equity investors, bidders and targets, financiers, independent board committees—we act for them all.
Success in hostile and friendly takeover bids is often more a matter of innovative approach than application of conventional legal procedures. Our experience allows us to move quickly and efficiently to assure the best outcome for our clients. We know the players; we know the regulators—and we know how to structure a successful transaction. With offices across the country, a representative office in New York, lawyers who have worked for the regulators, experts in related practice groups like tax and competition, we know how to get the deal done.
