I regularly act for startups and venture capital firms in a variety of transactional and governance matters. From the formation of your company to an angel, seed, series or corporate venture capital round, to exits via a sale or an IPO, I can help you achieve your goals. I have experience in a variety of industries, including energy, consumer products, technology and financial services.
I have transactional and governance experience acting for portfolio companies, domestic and international private equity firms and public sector pension fund managers, including roll ups, growth equity and buyouts. I have been involved in some of Canada's largest private equity transactions in the energy sector, and was a co-founder of the private equity group at one of Canada's preeminent law firms.
I have advised a broad range of clients, including targets, acquirers, founders, minority shareholders and special committees, in over $50 billion of mergers & acquisitions, from small private deals to large public company transactions. These included TD Bank’s acquisition of Canada Trust, the reorganization of Canadian Pacific into five independent publicly traded companies, and the $8 billion merger of Molson and Adolph Coors.
