Private deals – regardless of size – can be as complex and high stakes as public deals. Whether you’re a private or public company buying a private company, a buyout fund acquiring a business or a business owner making a once-in-a-lifetime sale of your company, you can count on us for agility and speed, grounded in deep experience.

We help you obtain the best possible business terms, implement the right structures and meet the tightest closing schedules. Applying our leading expertise – from financing and tax strategies to antitrust reviews and disputes – we tailor our approach so you achieve your business objectives.

We bring the same creativity, commitment and practical approach to your deal, whether in Canada, the U.S. or internationally. That’s why Barrick turned to us for its historic joint venture with Newmont Goldcorp Corporation to create the world's largest gold complex, as did Michelin Group for the US$1.7-billion acquisition of Camso Inc.
