Recently named one of the region's "Top 10 Most Innovative Law Firms" by the Financial Times, our transactional, litigation, employment, intellectual property, tax, and international trade practices have been repeatedly cited among the best in North America. The quality of our work is reflected in the number of domestic and multinational companies that seek our advice as they grow and manage their businesses, as well as the recognition we receive within the legal industry.
We also advised Baxter on the international aspects of the spinoff of its biopharmaceutical division for US$6 billion and represented 44 Swiss banks negotiating with the US Department of Justice to avoid tax evasion charges - a project named one of the top "Global Disputes of the Year" by American Lawyer in 2015.
