Bennett Jones represents all sides in private equity transactions, with particular depth on behalf of US and domestic financial sponsors. We understand our clients live with the consequences of their acquisitions the moment the deal closes and we align ourselves with that mindset.
Navigating the Canada-US border effectively and efficiently is one of our major strengths. We act for a wide range of clients, including financial sponsors, Canadian pension funds, family offices and other institutional investors—meeting their diverse needs. Our longstanding relationship with a number of leading US-based sponsors and their US legal counsel has given us particular insight into the cross-border tax challenges that come with structuring investments in Canada and from the United States and the nuances that stem when representing tax-exempt investors.
Transaction structuring is an important strength as Bennett Jones understands that excellence in the field requires specific knowledge of investors' needs at each point in the capital structure. Knowing how to bridge views on valuation and de-risk certain situations, with the use of earn-outs, convertible securities, contingent value rights (CVRs), derivatives and other forms of structured products, is a key value we bring to transactions.
