Despite global mergers and acquisitions activity last year being the slowest for deal-making since 2013, Osler was among the top Canadian firms in terms of number of transactions and dollar value. In an interview with Droit-inc, Niko Veilleux identified some sectors where he saw perhaps a little more movement than in other areas.
Technology was one, although Osler saw less activity in this sector in 2023 compared to the two previous years. “The technological presence in our economy is very important — so there is movement,” says Niko.
Logistics and supply chain management is another area. “Whether it’s the real estate side of logistics or logistics itself, there’s movement in the industrial world,” he says.
