Overview

Allison’s practice focuses on corporate and securities law with an emphasis on mergers and acquisitions, corporate finance, shareholder activism and corporate governance. 

Allison has extensive experience with complex cross-border public and private M&A transactions, including plans of arrangements, take-over bids, reverse takeovers and share and asset acquisitions. 

Allison regularly advises clients on public equity and debt offerings, private placements, corporate reorganizations, as well as general corporate and securities law matters, including continuous disclosure obligations, related party transactions, regulatory compliance and stock exchange listings. Allison also has significant experience with contested shareholder matters, representing both dissident shareholders and boards of directors in proxy contests.
