Cassels Brock & Blackwell LLP

The Cassels Brock & Blackwell LLP competition practice brings a highly skilled, five-partner team to bear on deals.

Who's Who nominee Chris Hersh and well regarded partner Mark Nicholson headline the group. Merger matters of the past year include acting for Pfizer in its US$68 billion buyout of rival Wyeth, FNX Mining Company in its merger with Quadra Mining, Unity Life of Canada in its buyout of a C$300 million portfolio from MetLife Canada, and several others.

Plus, the Cassels Brock team is advising Carbone Lorraine in a civil damages claim in the carbon brushes industry, counselling Capital Sports & Entertainment in its successful attempt to remove potentially anti-competitive provisions in a contract between the city of Ottawa and a Capital sports competitor, acting for the principal complainant in the bureau's dominance case against the Canadian Real Estate Association, and scores more.
