Fasken
Fasken’s capital markets practice is well-balanced across its national network of offices. Equipped to handle both debt and equity offerings, the team is particularly recognized for its prominence in the former sphere, with a significant focus on mining, energy and technology-related transactions. Calgary-based Sarah Gingrich co-heads the practice together with Toronto’s Sean Stevens. The group also draws on Montreal partners Jean-Pierre Chamberland and Jean Michel Lapierre, as well Toronto-based mining specialist John Turner.
