Mary Anne, who originally qualified in Canada, has practised at both a large Canadian firm and at Freshfields. She is the director of Mary Anne Fedeyko Limited, a partner in TSP. Mary Anne specialises in corporate, corporate finance and commercial law, and has wide experience of company restructurings, mergers and acquisitions. She has exceptional technical expertise in large industry acquisitions and contracts. She acts for clients in local industry and commerce as well as those with parent-companies based outside the UK – in Canada, the United States and Europe - and as such is often involved in multi-jurisdictional transactions.

In 2015 Mary Anne continued her extensive cross-border work, as well as advising on a number of UK-based transactions. She also qualified as a mediator and expects her experience in large corporate and commercial transactions will be an asset in this field.
