Toronto (Canada) – Fasken Martineau recently launched an exclusive dedicated platform for its Private Client Services group to offer more comprehensive and integrated legal solutions to its private clients.
For over 150 years, generations of Canada’s wealthiest families and successful private enterprises have trusted Fasken Martineau to help them achieve their objectives through sound legal advice, extensive expertise and a comprehensive network of professionals and industry relationships both in Canada and abroad.
“We are pleased to offer our private clients a uniquely integrated suite of services to address their personal and business objectives, delivered in a collaborative manner that draws upon both internal and external expertise,” said Corina Weigl, Partner and Co-Chair of the new Private Client Services group.
The launch of this platform reinforces the Firm’s commitment to serve high net worth and ultra-high net worth individuals, families and the private enterprises they own or manage.
