Banking & Finance: Financial Services Regulation

About

Provided by Torys LLP

Clients look to Torys for commercially-minded counsel to advance their financing objectives, with the long term always in view.

Torys' long history of involvement in Canada’s banking industry and its financing markets extends experience and perspective to our advice to lenders, private equity sponsors and borrowers in the public and private markets. Through our teams in Canada’s major financing markets in Toronto and Calgary, and our full-service office in New York, we offer integrated Canadian and U.S. services, industry-leading regulatory counsel, and a team known for creative first-of-kind structures tailored to clients’ needs.

We work closely with lending and borrowing clients on both discrete transactions and on ongoing financing requirements. We are also deal facilitators, which comes from a long track record of representing lenders and borrowers: we know the issues at play on all sides and help get deals done efficiently and in a way that grows relationships.

Having been involved in the creation of numerous federally regulated financial institutions and establishment of branches in Canada, we give strategic counsel through each stage of development: from the establishment and licensing of a new business or service, corporate governance arrangements and M&A, to distribution strategies and market conduct, as well as financial products.

We pride ourselves on our agility and perspective with new and uncharted aspects of the banking business.
