A dominant force in debt capital markets on behalf of both issuers and managers, McCarthy Tétrault also houses a prominent equity practice. From Toronto, go-to specialist Andrew Parker co-heads the capital markets group and advises on a broad mix of equity and debt transactions. Fellow capital markets co-head Patrick Boucher, based in Montreal, recently advised National Bank on multiple deals, including on an equity financing involving a public offering and concurrent private placement totalling C$1bn. Toronto-based Marc MacMullin co-heads the national financial services department and is widely recognized as a market leader for structured finance. Other key contacts in Toronto include Jo-Anna Brimmer, who specializes in capital markets and securitization; Simon Fitzpatrick and Dean Masse, who jointly lead the structured finance team; and next-generation partner Michael Eldridge. In Calgary, Alyson Goldman is highly regarded for corporate finance, with particularly strong experience in energy-related matters, while Pavan Jawanda (who splits his time between Canada and the US) is recommended in Vancouver.
