Firm Profile
Stikeman Elliott is recognized nationally and internationally for the sophistication of its business law practice. Thomson Financial and Mergermarket rank it first with respect to value of announced Canadian M&A transactions while Mergerstat Review ranks it first among Canadian firms in both number and volume of Canada-U.S. cross-border M&A transactions. Bloomberg ranks Stikeman Elliott first for market share as advisers to managers and the first for total volume in Canadian equity offerings. The firm’s National Litigation Group is also highly regarded, having been ranked among the top three business litigation practices in Canada by Lexpert. The firm’s success reflects the strength of its core practice areas—corporate finance, M&A, banking, corporate-commercial, real estate, tax, insolvency, structured finance, competition, intellectual property, employment and business litigation—as well as its in-depth knowledge of a wide range of industries from energy and mining to technology and outsourcing. Stikeman Elliott’s Canadian offices—located in Toronto, Montreal, Ottawa, Calgary and Vancouver—are among the leading practices in their respective jurisdictions. The firm’s long history in Quebec (where it was founded in 1952) gives it a dual capacity in civil and common law as well as the ability to work in both English and French. Internationally, the firm has a longstanding presence in London, New York and Sydney and is highly experienced in China, South and Southeast Asia as well as in central and eastern Europe, Latin America, the Caribbean and Africa. Because Stikeman Elliott’s growth is the product of internal expansion, not mergers—and because the firm’s 500 lawyers are linked by leading edge knowledge management systems—each of its clients receives advice of consistently high quality, grounded in the accumulated expertise of the firm’s national and international practice.
