Highlights 

Stikeman Elliott advised on transformative transactions in mining, infrastructure, and energy in 2024.

Stikeman also represents Canada Pension Plan Investment Board in the sale of its 7.51% stake in 407 ETR to PSP Investments and its simultaneous acquisition of a 6.76% stake from AtkinsRéalis, reinforcing CPP’s infrastructure portfolio. Additionally, the firm advises First Nations Limited Partnership on the Wataynikaneyap Power Transmission Project, a landmark 1,800 km line bringing electricity to remote communities in Northwestern Ontario.
