Stikeman Elliott LLP

Regulatory work is a key focus for Stikeman Elliott LLP’s power practice, which has strong experience in representing government entities and supervisory bodies in complex, market-shaping proceedings. The team also draws on the wider firm’s M&A, project finance and infrastructure groups to handle transactions. In Toronto, energy co-head Glenn Zacher and projects and infrastructure co-head Patrick Duffy are both highly regarded for regulatory matters; together, they represented the IESO in new transmission infrastructure approvals, among other issues. Also in Toronto, energy, real estate and projects partner Lanette Wilkinson and corporate, finance and projects specialist Aaron Fransen are noted for transactional mandates, while up-and-coming corporate partner Dominique Rolland is recommended in Montreal.
