Dentons
Led out of Calgary by national lead Bennett Wong, the capital markets practice at Dentons benefits from an additional five platforms across the country. The team is well-placed to represent all sides in debt and equity offerings, with a notable focus on debt issuances. Among its other attributes, the group is noted for its activity in the mining, technology and life sciences — including cannabis — spheres, as well as for its record in cross-border work. Additional key contacts include Toronto’s Ora Wexler, whose securities focus spans transactional and regulatory matters. Dan Shea has moved to Osler, Hoskin & Harcourt LLP.
