Leverage our knowledge, extensive experience and deep relationships in the capital markets to meet your unique goals and objectives.
We advise on a comprehensive range of corporate finance matters: strategy, capital structuring, transactional financing (private placements and public issuances of equity, debt or hybrid securities, conditional acquisition financing, R&D, operational, refinancing, restructuring) and related contractual and regulatory compliance matters.

Our team has extensive expertise in major, mission-critical, transformative procurement transactions, in the public/government and private sectors, advising both proponents as well as issuer companies.
Ordinary course procurement is more than a function focused on cost-cutting. Excellence in procurement requires a deeper look at internal needs and supply market capabilities, and better collaboration with suppliers and internal functions across an organization.
We have particular expertise advising public and private companies, investment management firms and anchor investors on securities regulatory compliance and strategic investments matters.
Our motto is "nothing is impossible" -- we find creative and workable solutions to attain your business objectives within an often byzantine regulatory framework.
We regularly take point in compliance audits and formal investigations.
Management, growth, and value creation are imperative to success. We understand that requires making intelligent, often subtle, trade-offs—between pursuing growth and focusing on margins, between reinvestment and shareholder returns. We assist our clients to create strong and sustainable value for shareholders.
Growth is imperative, possible, and perilous. Fewer than half the companies that strive for growth create value in the process. True value-creating growth requires defining the right strategy, vector or direction, and then bringing the right resources into its execution.
We advise or take point on all phases of the Contract Management function: planning and inception, initiation, negotiation (high-level strategic to clause drafting), contract creation or conformation , performance & risk analyses to optimize operational and financial performance, risk assessment /mitigation and the RM function, approval process (including facilitating stakeholder consensus), as well as implementation & execution and ongoing active management, maintenance, etc.
We undertake assessment & optimization mandates of your existing CM platform and practices, as well as transformational design, planning and implementation of CM practices tailored to your organization.

We advise public and private companies operating in a variety of sectors subject to government regulation.
We can help you, and your company's compliance function, strategically navigate the regulatory environment to align and facilitate, not hinder, your business objectives.
We also advise on contractual compliance matters.
Are you are deliberating or moving forward with a joint venture, strategic partnership or other collaborative arrangement with another organization to tackle a new opportunity (as active or passive participant) ?
Success in these strategic collaborative endeavours turns on several key considerations:
- a clearly articulated objective and supporting business case, process, preparation and planning.
- considered strategy and dynamic tactics in execution and implementation,
- ongoing oversight, iterative performance analyses, effective administration and active management.
