Dentons’ banking and finance group ‘comes to the table with smart, executable ideas’, according to clients. Distinguished by its extensive global platform, the team is noted for its record in cross-border — particularly US-related — financings. The national department is co-led by Toronto-based Ryan Middleton, who continues to develop a robust lender-side practice; and Edmonton’s Robert de Guzman, whose work intersects banking and corporate matters. Other recommended practitioners in Toronto include financial institutions head Heidi Clark, Toronto banking lead Michael Henriques, Radha Khosla, Dennis Wiebe and senior associate Simone Nash. In Montreal, the group further draws on local department head Joel Cabelli and Marie-Josée Couture.
