Overview

Our Canada lawyers advise clients on some of the most significant cross-border transactions in the North American market, such as Catamaran Corporation’s US$12.8 billion merger with OptumRx, UnitedHealth Group's pharmacy benefits business. We also represented the first US real estate investment company to create a Canadian REIT to list its US assets on the Toronto Stock Exchange — one of the most successful cross-border REIT offerings in recent years.
