Institutional experience, boutique execution
Mergers & Acquisitions
We provide advisory services across all phases of strategic transactions, including strategic reviews, auction sale processes, exclusive bilateral negotiations, divestitures, takeovers, mergers, privatizations, buy-side mandates, capital raising, and leveraged or management buyouts. We advise private, sponsor-backed and owner-operated companies, as well as publicly traded firms across industries, tailoring our advice to each client’s unique goals, circumstances, and constraints while responding rapidly to changing deal dynamics.
Board Advisory
We are the leading independent Canadian financial advisor to Boards of Directors and Special Committees on complex transactions, including related-party and going private transactions, restructurings, takeovers and comprehensive M&A mandates. Our sole advisory focus means our advice is never influenced by competing or conflicting business lines.
We have particular expertise in long-form fairness opinions, formal MI 61-101 valuations, and multi-class share structures.
Strategic Advisory
We provide comprehensive financial and strategic advice to public and private companies, shareholders, governments, crown corporations, and other key stakeholders on financial structuring, investment decisions, capital markets activity, business plan reviews, corporate governance, private placements, and equity & debt financing.
We also advise distressed companies and their stakeholders on in- and out-of-court restructurings, negotiations, and turnarounds, and act as expert witness in related litigation matters.
