Montréal
Osler’s Montréal office is the firm’s second largest office and is an
integral part of our North American team of more than 450 lawyers. Our legal
professionals provide seamless service from a multi-disciplinary platform to
Canadian and international clients operating in Québec, as well as leading and
mid-sized Québec-based companies doing business domestically and globally.
The Montréal office, with over 70
lawyers, has played a pivotal role in many of the country’s most significant
and complex transactions. Along with our Toronto, Calgary, Ottawa offices, and
with a vital link to the U.S. legal services provided by our New York office,
our Montréal team has been involved in a significant number of cross-border
transactions involving Québec-based companies.
Our Montréal office is one of the
only top-tier firms in the city that has a significant group of tax lawyers
able to advise businesses on domestic and cross-border M&A, corporate finance
and tax issues. In their 2011 edition, The Best Lawyers in Canada recognized
14 lawyers in
our Montréal office, and the The Canadian Legal Lexpert
Directory recognized 16.
Our expertise is essential to
Québec’s dynamic and diversified economy. Each year, we act in many key
transactions for several of Québec’s leading companies, well-established SMEs,
investors, and for a number of key players in the province’s thriving
technology and life science industries.
