Mergers & Acquisitions

MLT’s comprehensive, expertise-based practice model is ideally suited to the mergers & acquisitions field. Our M&A lawyers regularly collaborate with other lawyers in our firm who have specific and specialized expertise in corporate structures, business operations, corporate finance, competition law, intellectual property, environmental and regulatory compliance, tax, trusts and executive compensation, to provide our clients with efficient and specialized advice tailored to their individual business and transactional needs.

MLT has an active mergers and acquisitions practice. We have been involved in numerous significant private and public transactions involving Saskatchewan, Alberta and international acquirers or target companies. Several of these transactions have required the creation of complex or innovative partnerships or joint venture relationships and have involved multiple jurisdictions beyond Western Canada. Our experience includes work for publicly-traded and privately-held corporations in the financial services, communications, oil & gas, agribusiness, and natural resources sectors, on transactions ranging in scope from small family business transactions to large multinational transactions, including for example the $1.6 billion acquisition of Saskferco Products by Yara International.

We regularly advise business clients in a manner that covers the entire cycle of business transactions. Our services include structuring, legal due diligence, and the negotiation of letters of intent, offers to purchase, and agreements of purchase and sale. We have provided legal advice on acquisitions, mergers, takeovers, divestitures, reorganizations, leveraged and management buy-outs and hostile takeover bids.
