Canadian private M&A and business practice are very similar to the US. As such, US buyers can generally expect fewer surprises heading north than into other foreign jurisdictions. For these and other reasons, Canada is one of the most popular destinations for US outbound M&A, both in deal volume and deal value.
We’ve prepared an overview of private M&A into Canada to facilitate cross-border investment. Given the high-level similarities in law and market practice between our countries, we’ve focused on major differences and the most relevant considerations for US buyers coming into Canada.
We highlight:
- US / Canada cross-border M&A statistics
- Deal structuring for inbound M&A from the US
- Differences in law on key deal points
- Antitrust (Competition)
- Foreign Investment
- Employment & Severance
- Litigation & Governing Law
