Private Equity | Venture Capital
In the highly charged atmosphere of a private investment or merger, the parties need a legal team that’s been there before, that doesn’t lose its cool, that helps everyone get the deal done. Back that team with a full service, national firm that has bench strength in M&A, tax, intellectual property and technology. Add value with connections, an ear to the ground in the world of private capital. You’ve just described Fraser Milner Casgrain LLP.

FMC’s Private Equity | Venture Capital Group offers sophisticated yet cost-effective corporate finance, business advisory and other legal services for the unique needs of venture capitalists, investment bankers, and entrepreneurs. With our experience on all sides of private deals, we counsel our clients on what’s needed to get the deal done. Whether it’s fund formation, leveraged buyout, mezzanine financing, or taking a public company private, we’ve done it before—successfully. That’s very reassuring for our clients, many of whom are growing companies who haven’t done it before. Others are investors who don’t want the deal to go sour for want of seasoned legal guidance. And our U.S. clients like our cross-border experience coupled with our presence in every major Canadian city.
