Mining (International & Cross-Border) - Canada
What the Team is Known For
Stikeman Elliott is a high-performing independent Canadian law firm providing clients with high-end deal expertise, solid disputes practitioners and industry experts in teams across Canada. It is widely viewed as one of Canada’s leading firms for global work, offering strong cross-border experience and capabilities including specialist expertise in complex and high-value transactions. The law firm’s strong global focus is reflected by its offices in New York (not practising US law), London and Sydney, which are supplemented by its partner network of local counsel.
Stikeman has a highly internationalised and active mining group, providing clients with experience of Canadian inbound work and leading outbound mandates, with a noted strength in M&A and capital markets. A large portion of the law firm's cross-border work orients around energy and resources, and the Sydney and London offices provide an interface to foreign clients and a means to access Canadian-based expertise. The team also displays expertise handling legal issues regarding Latin American resource projects, including offering contentious capabilities where issues arise relating to clients' foreign-held assets.
