During 2023/24, Bennett Jones LLP handled a significant volume of debt and equity offerings in the energy and natural resources, life sciences and financial services spheres, among other areas. Active for both issuers and underwriters, the team is also noted for its experience in cross-border — particularly US-related — transactions. Toronto-based Kristopher Hanc spearheads the national group and specializes in M&A and capital markets. Also in Toronto, Aaron Sonshine stands out for his record in cannabis-related matters. In Calgary, Brent Kraus, Harinder Basra and John Lawless are recommended. John Piasta left the firm in January 2024.
