Borden Ladner Gervais LLP

More informationMore information

Borden Ladner Gervais LLP’s capital markets practice has a focus on the mid-market space, which ensures a steady stream of smaller offerings — both debt and equity. Led from Vancouver by Kent Kufeldt, who consistently represents both issuers and underwriters, the department also draws on Vancouver-based mining head Fred Pletcher. The Toronto team was recently boosted by the hires of Timothy McCormick and counsel Laura Levine, who both joined as partners from Stikeman Elliott LLP. Additionally, Frazer House joined as a partner from Torys, where he was an associate.
