Stikeman Elliott LLP

The group at Stikeman Elliott LLP offers domestic and international tax advice, tax planning and tax controversy support. Core areas of expertise include tax aspects of M&A, private and public debt and equity financings, reorganizations, restructurings and compliance settlements, as well as transfer pricing, litigation and insurance taxation mandates. The practice is jointly led by a trio of experienced partners. Toronto-based John Lorito‘s practice is focused on transactional tax matters, while Calgary-based Julie D’Avignon majors on resource and energy taxation mandates; Montreal-based Frank Mathieu is concerned with the tax implications of cross-border M&A. Transactional practitioner Dean Kraus is an additional key contact. The practice was strengthened by the arrival of partner John Lennard, previously at Davies Ward Phillips & Vineberg LLP, in June 2022.
