Stikeman Elliott LLP

A popular choice for large-scale and first-of-a-kind debt and equity offerings, Stikeman Elliott LLP’s capital markets practice benefits from strong platforms across the country. In Toronto, D’Arcy Nordick is highly regarded for his track record in complex corporate and securities transactions. The Toronto team also draws on sector specialist Ramandeep Grewal; capital markets and public M&A co-heads Jeff Hershenfield and John Laffin; and corporate lead Jonah Mann. A strong bench in Montreal includes Robert Carelli, who is widely acknowledged as a national leader in securities, and David Massé, who heads the local securities practice and recently advised Bell Canada on its $2.2bn public offering of hybrid debt securities. Other stand-out Montreal practitioners are Alix d’Anglejan-Chatillon, who co-leads the financial products and services area, local corporate head Pierre-Yves Leduc and rising associate Jules Dumas-Richard. Key names in Calgary include corporate and securities partner Keith Chatwin, as well as local corporate co-heads Benjamin Hudy and Janel Young. Michael Urbani, who leads the corporate and securities group in Vancouver, is also recommended.
