Canada > Banking and finance

Fasken’s banking and finance offering is well distributed across its national offices, which is reflected in a broad practice that shines in mining finance, corporate finance and regulatory matters, among other spheres. Key names for transactional work in Toronto include department co-head David Johnson who recently advised a syndicate of banks, agented by Bank of Montreal, on the $1.3m financing of the acquisition and take private of Lookers Group. The Toronto team also includes Thomas Meagher, who is highly regarded for mine finance; national department co-head Dev Singh, who is highlighted as a ‘rising star on Bay Street’; and Daniel Conrad, who is ‘one of the hardest-working lawyers in Canada’. The group additionally draws on fellow national co-heads Angela Onesi (Montreal) and Andrew Jackson (Vancouver) as well as Scott Sangster, who leads the area in Calgary. On the regulatory front, Toronto-based Koker Christensen is widely recognized as a market leader; he co-heads the financial services practice together with Montreal-based Nicolas Faucher.
