McCarthy Tétrault Advises on Four Mandates Shortlisted for The Deal Awards

TORONTO, June 3, 2019 — McCarthy Tétrault is listed on a total of five nominations for The Deal Awards 2019, having acted on four different transactions that are shortlisted for an award. Our firm advised on deals nominated in the following categories:

  1. Deal of the Year
  2. Most Innovative of the Year
  3. Private Equity Deal of the Year
  4. Technology, Media, and Telecom Deal of the Year

McCarthy Tétrault has the best showing among Canadian law firms in the list of awards finalists, with no other Canada-based firm advising on more than two shortlisted deals. Each of the transactions our team acted on involved multiple jurisdictions and intricate cross-border considerations.

Our firm’s success was propelled by a strong body of work from our top-tier Competition Law Group, under the leadership of Jason Gudofsky, who advised on mandates nominated in several categories. Our competition lawyers advised on two different award candidates:

  • Walt Disney’s acquisition of television and film assets of Twenty-First Century Fox
  • Carlyle & GIC’s acquisition of AkzoNobel’s specialty chemicals business

Our M&A and Private Equity groups were also involved in the following major transactions shortlisted by The Deal:

  • Oaktree Capital’s sale of controlling stake to Brookfield Asset Management
  • Constellation’s acquisition of stake in Canopy Growth

The Deal is a first-class newsroom and intelligence service that provides actionable information on international deals and dealmakers.
