With five Canadian offices and three international locations, the firm excels in banking, project development, and financial services regulation. Their banking team handles cross-border and domestic financing, while the capital markets team is adept in debt, equity, and structured finance.

Highlights 

Stikeman Elliott advised on transformative transactions in mining, infrastructure, and energy in 2024. The firm acted as lead counsel to Osisko Bermuda Limited in its syndicated gold stream agreement with Franco-Nevada for SolGold’s Cascabel copper-gold project in Ecuador—one of the world’s largest mineral developments—requiring intricate structuring of multi-tranche funding and stream rights. 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.
