David Lemieux > Norton Rose Fulbright > Montreal, Canada > Lawyer Profile

Norton Rose Fulbright’s team is distinguished by its extensive national and international network, which includes six offices in Canada as well as on-the-ground platforms in Africa, Asia, Europe, Latin America, the Middle East and the US. The firm’s international outlook notably marks it as a popular choice for cross-border — particularly US-related — financings. The Calgary office is a strong performer in energy-related matters, with Rick Borden recently advising Royal Bank of Canada, as administrative agent, on a senior secured $150m term facility and a $700m revolving facility to Enerflex. Marlow Gereluk is also recommended in Calgary. Key names in Montreal include asset-based lending co-chair Arnold Cohen; corporate finance and restructuring partner David Lemieux; and dual Quebec- and New York-qualified national practice co-ordinator Peter Wiazowski. In Toronto, asset-based lending co-chair David Amato and regulatory head Tim Stewart are noted.
