Stikeman Elliott LLP

Stikeman Elliott LLP’s transactional banking and finance practice excels in borrower-side mandates, leveraging the firm’s premier corporate client base to advise on syndicated lending, acquisition finance, project finance, and asset-backed lending, among other areas. It also acts for financial institutions and alternative lenders on financing deals. Jennifer Legge heads the banking and finance group in Toronto and specializes in corporate lending, project finance, restructuring and private equity. Also in Toronto, Craig Mitchell maintains a broad practice spanning banking, restructuring and private equity matters; Daphne MacKenzie is widely regarded as a go-to expert for mining finance; and Victoria Zaric is a leading associate. In Montreal, Howard Rosenoff brings a strong record in representing both lenders and borrowers, while Serge Levy — who heads the debt financing and projects and infrastructure groups in Montreal — handles a mix of regulatory and transactional work. Toronto-based Meaghan Obee Tower is the key contact for financial services regulation and recently advised HSBC Holdings on the regulatory aspects of the C$13.5bn sale of its Canadian business to Royal Bank of Canada.
