Frequently involved in both inbound and outbound transactions, Blake, Cassels & Graydon LLP’s cross-border offering benefits from its ability to leverage international offices in New York and London. The firm’s premier dispute resolution practice additionally marks it as a popular choice for transnational disputes, including arbitrations. High-profile M&A specialist Jeffrey Lloyd manages the London office, and also routinely works from Toronto. In a $9bn deal, Lloyd recently acted for the Special Committee of Teck Resources in connection with the sale of a majority stake in its steelmaking coal business to Glencore and a minority stake to Nippon Steel. The London office also draws on corporate and capital markets partner Jennifer Maxwell. In New York, office managing partner Kevin Rusli is highly regarded for his private equity expertise.
