With our three largest offices located in provinces that dominate the forest products industry - British Columbia, Ontario and Quebec - we have developed in-depth expertise in this sector. We have acted and currently act for a number of major forest-products companies based in Canada, the U.S., and elsewhere, on transactions from Newfoundland to British Columbia. Our experience, which covers both transactions and ongoing operations, includes financing (including structuring a proposed securitization of lumber assets), asset/share acquisitions and divestitures and related financings, the structuring of investment vehicles, environmental advice, tax advice, application of tax provisions specific to the industry, advice relating to mergers, acquisitions and divestitures, the negotiation of timber rights and other contracts, and the structuring and negotiation of cogeneration arrangements.
