Securities | Corporate Finance

Canada’s capital markets are a dynamic source of funding for many industries, especially oil and gas, and mining.

The Securities and Corporate Finance Group at Fraser Milner Casgrain LLP regularly represents Canadian, U.S. and international issuers (public and private), underwriters, and others on debt and equity financings, and mergers and acquisitions (M&A). We are particularly recognized for our expertise in mining, oil and gas, healthcare/biotech, technology, real estate, forest products, and infrastructure financing, especially public/private partnerships. 

This depth of expertise exists in all our offices: Vancouver, Edmonton, and Calgary in western Canada and Toronto, Ottawa and Montréal in the east. Our colleagues in other practice groups such as taxation, financial services, competition law and real estate contribute their talent and experience to the successful conclusion of a transaction. 

We apply our innovative, practical, forward-thinking approach to initial public offerings, secondary offerings, multijurisdictional/cross-border offerings and M&A transactions, including friendly and hostile takeover bids. We also advise issuers, dealers, advisers and fund managers on compliance and corporate governance. Public sector clients frequently consult us on regulatory and administrative law matters, including new securities legislation and other forms of regulation. 

In both transactional and non-transactional work, we focus on finding creative, efficient solutions for our clients.
