Practice Areas & Industries: Ogilvy Renault LLP

Practice/Industry Group Overview

Companies facing complex restructurings and insolvencies place their trust in our ability to help them navigate through business complexities, anticipate challenges, and provide practical solutions.

Successfully partnering with companies involved in many of the largest Canadian/US insolvencies enables clients to benefit from our years of experience and know-how in restructuring a company in either or both jurisdictions as well as coordinating legal proceedings in respective jurisdictions.

Creative use of insolvency techniques are helpful in structuring the affairs of financially-healthy companies. These same insolvency tools also enable strategic mergers and acquisitions as they provide a cost efficient means of procuring and stabilizing the finances of target companies.

A number of our team members are recognized in Canada and abroad as leading lawyers by authoritative sources, including the Canadian Legal LEXPERT Directory, Chambers Global, Euromoney, International Who's Who, and Global Counsel.
