DESCRIPTION

This unique program brings together the leading practitioners in multi-jurisdictional corporate transactions from both Québec and Ontario. An intensive, practical program that will walk you through a multi-jurisdictional commercial transaction and delve into strategies and tools for successfully managing it within the legal and regulatory frameworks of each province. You will gain an in-depth understanding of the range of issues at play- from corporate governance obligations, critical issues at play in a multi-jurisdictional purchase and sale transaction, third party financing, to critical risk management, choice of law and litigation issues- and strategies for ensuring they are effectively flagged and managed.  If you are counsel in either Québec or Ontario, involved in multi-jurisdictional transactions, or expecting to be in the future, this is an invaluable opportunity to expand your network on the other side of the provincial line and to keep abreast of key developments.
