International & Cross-Border Legal Services
Business doesn’t stop at the border, and neither do we. We advise on complex cross‑border matters involving Canada, the United States, and key jurisdictions around the world. With deep Canadian legal expertise and seamless international reach, we help you manage risk, close deals, and resolve disputes.
Global reach, collaborative approach
We have built a strong network of trusted relationships with leading law firms, in-house teams, and professional advisors worldwide. These connections, developed over many years, allow us to seamlessly collaborate with the right professionals to support your needs, wherever business takes you.
At the same time, our lawyers are actively involved in respected international legal organizations, including the American Bar Association (ABA), the International Bar Association (IBA), Multilaw, the Association of Corporate Counsel (ACC), and The Trial Network. These affiliations strengthen our global reach, provide access to high-calibre legal expertise across jurisdictions, and ensure we remain closely aligned with evolving legal trends, market developments, and best practices around the world.

- U.S.-Canada and international transactions
- Cross-border mergers, acquisitions, and joint ventures
