McCarthy Tétrault

Demonstrating involvement in marquee projects across Canada, McCarthy Tétrault’s national team is adept at representing private and public-sector stakeholders in large-scale infrastructure mandates. In Vancouver, Linda Brown is highly regarded for her ability to act for the full range of project owners, project developers and lenders; she is acting alongside the real estate group to advise the City of Calgary on the construction of a new event centre which will replace the Scotiabank Saddledome Arena. Additional names in Vancouver include Morgan Troke, who routinely acts for lenders and borrowers on major infrastructure projects; Samantha Cunliffe, whose practice spans project finance and project development; and up-and-coming partner Liezl Behm, who handles a range of project finance, PPP projects and secondary market transactions. A sizeable Toronto bench draws on projects and power specialist David Lever; projects disputes head Julie Parla, who co-heads the department together with Brown and Lever; and senior strategic advisor, Godyne Sibay, who is recommended for project development.
