As our firm represents numerous publicly traded corporations and trusts, we are familiar with the practices and requirements of all Canadian stock exchanges and provincial securities commissions. We also act for corporations inter-listed on foreign stock exchanges, giving us a
broad range of experience in securities regulations across Canada and beyond. We advise securities dealers, venture capital corporations, and institutional investors that assist businesses seeking to raise the capital needed to fund their projects. We are also strategic partners in the registration and regulatory compliance of financial intermediaries.
When it comes to accessing capital, our lawyers have expertise in public offerings, private placements, rights offerings, tax incentive offerings, limited partnerships, trust conversions, and hedge funds. Our lawyers regularly act on transactions involving corporate mergers, acquisitions, debt re-structuring, strategic relationships, and shareholder matters, including the implementation of shareholders’ rights plans, shareholder disputes, and contested shareholder meetings.
At DS Lawyers, our Corporate Finance, Capital Markets, and Securities Regulation lawyers work closely with our other departments to provide efficient teams of legal professionals prepared to take on all aspects of your deal and help you avoid any pitfalls.
