Printable Summary
Canada is a dynamic place for non-Canadians to do business. During the last decade, it has stood out among the world’s nations as one of the most stable business environments, whether measured in terms of its currency, political climate, highly educated and trained workforce, or ability to both develop and attract world-class talent.
At Torkin Manes, we are experienced in assisting international organizations establish themselves and do business in Canada. In addition, we have been instrumental in advising Canadian businesses conducting business outside of our borders in a seamless fashion.
Much of our international work is concentrated in cross-border work, both inbound and outbound. We have assisted many foreign businesses and individuals with their business investments in Canada.
We assist clients with commercial negotiations, establishment of Canadian affiliates, international licensing agreements, mergers and acquisitions, public and private debt and equity issues, structured finance transactions, taxation, litigation, commercial real estate acquisitions, financing and development, the establishment of tax-effective business structures, and a wide range of regulatory issues, in Canada and abroad.
