Torys

The Toronto-led mining team at Torys pairs the strength of a network of offices in Montreal, Halifax, Calgary and New York, with the experience of its team, to advise large, mid-cap and junior mining companies, issuers, underwriters and selling security holders on matters ranging from high-value, multi-jurisdictional M&A, project finance, joint ventures and commodity transactions to mining arbitration, restructuring, permitting matters and negotiations with Indigenous groups. The team is headed by Michael Pickersgill, who brings a track record of expertise to M&A, corporate finance, earn-in agreements, and royalty, streaming and offtake arrangements. Other key figures of note include Michael Amm, who handles complex strategic investments, joint ventures, corporate financings and who, like Braden Jebson, manages complex royalty and streaming transactions; Don Bell, who draws on experience advising on mining projects in North and South America, Asia and Africa; and John Terry and Kevin Morris, who both specialize in capital markets transactions, board governance advice and shareholder activist issues.
