Stikeman Elliott LLP

Stikeman Elliott LLP leverages the firm’s premier corporate expertise to excel in commercial oil and gas work, while its energy practice is additionally underpinned by a thriving regulatory offering. During 2024/25 the firm secured a string of major cross-border M&A mandates, while it also handled financing deals, development projects and complex regulatory matters, including litigation. The Calgary-based group is co-led by high-profile transactional specialist Chrysten Perry KC, who recently acted in conjunction with the corporate practice to advise Spartan Delta Corp on its C$53.1m acquisition of Duvernay assets from Tourmaline Oil Corp. Also recommended for energy transactions are seasoned deal-maker Frederick Erickson, who brings extensive experience in market-shaping M&A, and Kurtis Reed, who heads the energy team in the Calgary office. On the regulatory side, Dennis Langen is highly regarded for his track record in transactional support, compliance and contentious matters, while rising associate Amy Barrington provides further regulatory support.
