Ranked Individuals
Provided by McMillan LLP
McMillan’s Financial Services Group is unique in that unlike most other large Canadian firms, we have a core bank lending practice that is based on lender clients rather than an add-on group materially relying upon borrower-side work generated from corporate practice. We understand the needs of lenders – from the establishment of their operations to originating a loan to selling the loan (or participating, syndicating or moving the risk off balance sheet) to working out the loan.
We understand how to structure transactions to meet internal and external requirements (including credit approval, regulatory restrictions and capital requirements). We are a financial services law firm acting for Canadian and international financial institutions and known for our work in cross-border transactions and strong working relationships with leading US and UK firms.
