DLA Piper (Canada) LLP acts for a strong roster of Canada- and US-based cannabis companies, as demonstrated by its recent work for Acreage Holdings and Tilray Brands. Heavily weighted towards corporate and finance transactions, the group also brings experience in compliance, restructuring, litigation and IP-related matters. Corporate and securities specialist Robert Fonn heads a national practice that also draws on Canadian capital markets co-chair Derek Sigel and corporate and private equity partner Russel Drew — all of whom are based in Toronto.
