For the 14th consecutive year, Global Competition Review (GCR) has recognized Davies as an “Elite” Canadian firm – the highest category in the jurisdiction – in its annual guide to the world’s top competition practices.

Our international and domestic clients trust us to represent them in high-profile and complex merger, cartel and monopolization cases, as well as other cutting-edge litigation cases brought under the Competition Act.

The firm’s ranking in GCR reflects our recent work across the full spectrum of competition and foreign investment review law, including:

• Acting as Canadian counsel to Kansas City Southern in its transformative US$31-billion merger with Canada Pacific Railway to create the first U.S.-Mexico-Canada rail network;
• Acting for Shaw Communications Inc. in its C$26-billion deal with Rogers Communications Inc. – the largest M&A deal announced in 2021 for a Canadian target;
• Acting as Canadian counsel to French train manufacturer Alstom S.A. in its €4.4-billion strategic acquisition of Bombardier Transportation; and
• Acting for S&P Global Inc. on Canadian regulatory matters in its proposed US$44-billion all-stock merger with IHS Markit.

Using independently compiled research, the GCR 100 provides a qualitative analysis of the law firms doing the most important competition and antitrust work around the world.
