Stikeman Elliott LLP

Stikeman Elliott LLP’s capital markets practice stands out for its impressive national firepower. The full-service group brings to bear particularly dominant offerings in Toronto, Montreal, and Calgary, while it also has a well-staffed platform in Vancouver. In Toronto, seasoned specialist D’Arcy Nordick is highly regarded for his record in complex transactions; he recently represented Broadcom on its C$2.5bn notes offering. Additionally, Ramandeep Grewal advised the Bank of Nova Scotia on its multibillion-dollar shelf prospectus program. The Toronto team also draws on John Laffin and Jeff Hershenfield  — who co-lead the capital markets and public M&A group in Toronto — and corporate partner Sean Vanderpol. In Montreal, Robert Carelli and David Massé head the local corporate group and securities team respectively. The national department also draws on Keith Chatwin, who spearheads the corporate group in Calgary, and Michael Urbani, who fronts the corporate and securities team in Vancouver.
