The practice group at McCarthy Tétrault is well-placed to represent debtors, corporate creditors, court-appointed monitors, receivers and trustees in domestic and cross-border restructurings, workouts and insolvencies. A recent standout mandate saw the team represent the trustee to the bankruptcy of Public Bike System Company in a dispute relating to the City of Montréal’s claim. Toronto-based James Gage heads up the practice and handles domestic and international workouts, CCAA, receivership and bankruptcy proceedings. Additional key contacts include Calgary-based Sean Collins (out-of-court and court-supervised restructurings); Toronto-based Heather Meredith; Vancouver-based Lance Williams; and Alain Tardif and Jocelyn Perreault, both of whom are based in Montreal.
