Financial and corporate

Fasken Martineau DuMoulin is a full-service firm created after several large mergers. Since the founding of its earliest predecessor in 1863 the team has expanded to offices in both Canadian cities and abroad. The firm understands the unique risks businesses face from regulations and financial changes. Their banking & finance group helps clients navigate these challenges, advising a diverse range of credit providers and consumers globally. Their experience with both lenders and borrowers in complex transactions ensures sound structuring and efficient execution. The financial services team represents financial institutions on regulatory and compliance matters while the M&A team advises clients of all types, ranging from strategic buyers and sellers to private equity firms. 

 

Highlights 

Fasken advised on two landmark transactions in 2024. The firm continues to counsel the Government of Canada and Windsor-Detroit Bridge Authority on the Gordie Howe International Bridge Project—a bi-national public-private partnership that includes North America’s longest cable-stayed span and two major ports of entry. This first-of-its-kind cross-border P3 requires ongoing legal support on procurement, financing, and regulatory matters involving Canadian and U.S. authorities. Additionally, Fasken represented Novacap in Advent International’s take-private acquisition of Nuvei, a global payments leader. The deal involved complex structuring of partial share rollovers, governance planning, and compliance for dual listings on Nasdaq and TSX, underscoring Fasken’s expertise in high-value M&A and multi-jurisdictional transactions. 

  

Key Clients   

Air Canada, Bank of Montreal, Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec, National Bank of Canada, Novacap, Rogers Communications, Royal Bank of Canada, The Bank of Nova Scotia, The Toronto-Dominion Bank and Vancouver Fraser Port Authority.
