Provided by Stikeman Elliott LLP
Our Competition & Foreign Investment Group provides sophisticated, pragmatic advice on major national and international transactions, as well as day-to-day compliance across all industries. On the litigation side, the team handles high stakes exposures in the criminal, regulatory and class action spheres, using dynamic and highly effective courtroom advocacy and a razor-sharp strategic approach.
We are one of the most active transactional law firms in Canada, with a deep understanding of the competitive dynamics of Canada’s major industrial and commercial sectors. As such, we can effectively evaluate and structure transactions to manage the risk of regulatory intervention by the Commissioner of Competition and other governmental agencies. We have also acted on the most noteworthy foreign investment transactions in recent years, representing both Canadian targets and foreign purchasers.
Our competition litigation practice is a recognized market leader, with top ranked counsel handling the full spectrum of client issues, from cartel investigations, prosecutions and resolutions, to immunity and leniency applications, to contested mergers and other civilly reviewable matters before the Competition Tribunal, to defence of class actions and other lawsuits alleging competition law violations and economic torts. www.thecompetitor.ca
