What the Team is Known For

Fasken offers a market-leading mining group and a full service across key contentious and transactional areas, with highly regarded specialists stationed across Canada. The bulk of its resources operate out of Toronto, where it provides strong deal teams, particularly in banking and finance. A major part of its cross-border expertise involves the USA, where it regularly works with clients investing into Canada, in partnership with US firms. Another key component of the law firm's international work springs from its stellar mining and natural resources practice, which extends to offices in London and Johannesburg to provide a global platform to help service Canadian and global clients on their operations around the world.

Fasken also displays capabilities across contentious areas including class actions, product liability and IP litigation. It is experienced in international disputes related to international trade, anti-corruption compliance and anti-bribery matters. The law firm is recognised for its counsel to clients in defence of class action claims, with proceedings often implicating US and other foreign entities operating in Canada. Its class action capabilities span competition and securities matters, where the law firm often acts for its financial services and banking client base on a cross-border basis.
