The banking and finance group at Goodmans LLP ‘goes above and beyond the client’s expectations’. From Toronto, the team maintains broad geographical and practice coverage, with its borrower-side work and involvement in complex restructuring-related matters particularly impressing. David Nadler spearheads the department and recently acted as Canadian counsel to an ad hoc group of term-loan lenders in the chapter 11 restructuring of Revlon. The department also draws on the experience of Jeffrey Citron, Celia Rhea and Michael Bertrand; all of whom bring to bear strong corporate lending credentials. Among the group’s up-and-coming partners Dan Dedic, Karen Vadasz and the recently promoted Kyle Gerow stand out. Jean Anderson recently retired.
