Mergers and Acquisitions Lawyers Working with Quebec’s Entrepreneurs

Focused on Results, Guided by Experience

As skilled negotiators and pragmatic problem solvers, our mergers and acquisitions (business transfers & takeovers) lawyers are recognized for finding practical solutions at every stage of the transaction process.

Acquiring a business is an exciting process, but it requires careful preparation. Our skilled mergers and acquisitions lawyers can make the process seamless and efficient. Our expertise ensures that every detail is meticulously managed to ensure a successful transaction.

Our Strategic Approach to M&A Transactions

From due diligence to contract review and compliance checks, we cover all legal aspects. Our M&A lawyers also assist private equity firms, investors, and emerging companies in navigating regulatory frameworks under the Canadian Competition Act and the notification requirements of the Competition Bureau.

Strategic Focus

We assemble the right team to address the challenges of each deal, offering you a one-stop resource for your M&A transactions (business transfer and takeover). Our corporate law firm is recognized for its leadership in private M&A and divestitures in Quebec.

Professional Rigour

We provide sophisticated, innovative, and tactical legal advice, responding quickly and effectively to all M&A transactions, regardless of timing, size, scope, or complexity.

Client Representation

We advise clients, including purchasers, sellers, boards and special committees, lenders, financial advisors, investors, and key shareholders in every aspect of a transaction. Whether advising private companies or public entities, our M&A lawyers ensure compliance with legal and regulatory requirements specific to each industry sector.

Due Diligence

We conduct due diligence before you purchase a company or its assets, including reviewing and revising contracts with employees or suppliers and investigating pending lawsuits, debts, and certificates of good standing. Our due diligence process covers competition law issues, taxation matters, and corporate restructuring strategies to mitigate risks in acquisition transactions.

Multidisciplinary Expertise

Our practice encompasses large transactions, where we draw on our expertise in corporate, securities, tax, capital markets, antitrust, real estate, labour, and environmental law. We also handle transactions that may be small in comparison but equally as complex. With strong expertise in tax and regulatory frameworks, our lawyers provide guidance for both domestic and cross-border M&A transactions involving multiple industries and jurisdictions.
