Rima Ramchandani – Torys

Split between Toronto and Calgary, Torys’ capital markets group leverages the wider firm’s robust financial services expertise to excel in complex debt offerings and structured finance matters. It is also well positioned to handle equity deals. In a highlight example of its practice sweet spot, Toronto-based David Seville recently advised Scotia Capital, and the syndicate of agents, on Scotiabank’s C$1.5bn public offering of limited recourse capital notes (LRCNS). On the equity side, Toronto’s Rima Ramchandani acted for Home Capital on its issuer bid for up to C$115m of its common shares. Calgary-based Scott Cochlan co-heads the department, together with Seville and Ramchandani, and handles a range of corporate and securities work. Other key contacts in Toronto include capital markets chair Kevin Morris; corporate finance partner Glen Johnson; securitization specialist Jim Hong; and talented senior associate Michael Murphy. Up-and-coming partner Michael Pedlow is noted in Calgary. Michael Feldman retired in December 2022, while associate Brett Saulnier left to join OPTrust.
