Stikeman Elliott LLP

Stikeman Elliott LLP’s premier corporate practice lends itself well to borrower-side mandates and the group consistently represents major domestic and multinational companies on complex financings, including syndicated lending, acquisition finance and project finance, among other matters. The team, which also acts for lenders, additionally houses a significant regulatory practice. Jennifer Legge heads the team in Toronto and recently advised GFL Environmental on financing facilities valued at C$1.3bn provided for the spin-off of GFL Infrastructure Group to create Green Infrastructure Partners. The Toronto bench also draws on banking, project finance and restructuring specialist Daphne MacKenzie; banking, restructuring and private equity partner Craig Mitchell; and Meaghan Obee Tower, whose practice spans regulatory and transactional work. In Montreal, Howard Rosenoff and Serge Levy are key contacts. Toronto-based associate Victoria Zaric provides support.
