Goodmans Mergers and Acquisitions (M&A) practice provides the highest level of client service on complex, high-profile transactions across industries and borders. Our expertise spans the spectrum of key markets and transaction types, including intricate and high-stakes public M&A, private equity investment and founder exit strategies. If the transaction is reported in the business pages, chances are we played a role.
Canada’s leading law firm on the design of bespoke, creative, cross-border (and domestic) M&A structures, we get transactions done efficiently and effectively. We strive to offer a seamless international deal-making experience, with a single point-of-contact and streamlined oversight and guidance on all international legal tasks, across all advisory groups.
Our clients know us as first-rate dealmakers, with unique responsiveness, energy and passion to close the deal. Our M&A lawyers are regularly retained by new clients seeking our expertise on “bet the company” transactions. By maintaining both a keen understanding of the business and legal environment, and a sharp focus on the issues particular to each deal, we respond quickly and creatively to the nuances and challenges of sophisticated transactions, both large and small. We are committed to ensuring transactions are completed on our clients’ terms and schedules.
We act on all M&A deal types, from mid-market, domestic private M&A, to multi-billion dollar, multi-party, multi-jurisdictional transactions.
On a per-capita basis, Goodmans has more leading M&A lawyers than any other firm.
