The corporate and M&A practice at Torys draws on the combined experience of teams in Toronto, Montreal, Halifax, Calgary and New York, to advise major corporates and financial institutions (including The Bank of Nova Scotia) involved in high-value, cross-border transactions. The group’s client roster spans such sectors as energy and natural resources, retail, infrastructure, government and utilities. The group is headed in Toronto by John Emanoilidis, Karrin Powys-Lybbe and Michael Amm, all of whom bring experience and expertise to complex M&A, securities, private equity and corporate governance matters. Other key figures include Adrienne DiPaolo in Toronto, who, in addition to public and private M&A, specializes in corporate governance; Janan Paskaran in Calgary, an expert in securities compliance matters and corporate finance; and Jennifer Baugh (also in Calgary) who brings strength to M&A and reorganisations. Another figure of note is senior associate Daniel Masliyah in Toronto.
