Davies Ward Phillips & Vineberg LLP

Davies Ward Phillips & Vineberg LLP eschews the traditional international network model favoured by many of its Bay Street peers, where overseas offices exist primarily to support Canadian law work. Instead, the firm maintains a well-staffed New York practice comprising both US- and Canadian-qualified lawyers. The firm handles a steady stream of inbound and outbound M&A, capital markets and private equity transactions, and it also excels in multi-jurisidictional disputes, with notable expertise across the mining, financial services, real estate, TMT and life sciences industries, among others. Key experts in New York include corporate and securities partner Jeffrey Nadler, who is qualified in Canada, Israel and New York, and US-qualified tax specialist Peter Glicklich, who manages the local office.
