Successful deals require the right mix of vision, strategic planning and experience.
Because no two M&A deals are alike, we structure transactions to meet clients’ unique objectives. Identifying potential issues and regulatory requirements at an early stage allows us to propose solutions to meet these objectives. This - along with the collective insight from hundreds of deals across our firm – is what creates value for our clients.
Our clients range from start-ups to industry leaders and include private equity funds, strategic buyers, boards of directors and independent committees, professional service firms, family businesses and their shareholders, as well as public companies listed on stock exchanges throughout the world.
Our expertise includes advising shareholders, boards, special committees and management in public and private financings, acquisitions and divestitures, proxy contests, take-over defence planning, capital reorganizations and management buy-outs.
We have expertise in a variety of industries, including mining, energy, transportation, agribusiness, financial institutions, investment funds, telecommunications and technology.
Chambers Review
Fasken offers a market-leading mining group and a full service across key contentious and transactional areas, with highly regarded specialist teams stationed across Canada. The bulk of its resources operate out of Toronto, where it provides strong deal teams, particularly in banking and finance. A major part of its cross-border expertise involves the USA, where it regularly works with clients investing into Canada, in partnership with US firms. Another key component of the law firm`s international work springs from its stellar mining and natural resources practice, which extends to offices in London and Johannesburg to provide a global platform to help service Canadian and global clients on their operations around the world.
Fasken is an experienced adviser on inbound deals, offering solid public M&A capabilities and specialist expertise in cross-border banking and finance deals, which benefit from its strong relationships with Canadian financial institutions. The firm navigates major mining clients through international transactions, with an ability to project-manage M&A and financing deals across continents. It also offers expertise in inbound infrastructure deals including M&A, divestitures and financing, and advises Canadian infrastructure companies entering other markets in conjunction with partner counsel. It also regularly works with clients in the financial services, TMT, life sciences and healthcare industries on their cross-border matters, largely representing US investors and Canadian target companies on inbound work.
