The annual IFLR1000 Awards are the culmination of an extensive research process that analyzes and awards the top firms, teams, attorneys, and most innovative transactions of the year in their respective markets. The 2021 awards are IFLR1000’s first to honour and recognize the top transactional legal talent in the Canadian market.
This recognition by IFLR1000 highlights the strength of the business and legal experience of the Firm’s Insolvency and Restructuring group. In the current global economic environment, businesses face intense pressure from overly leveraged balance sheets and reduced cash flow from operations. Some may survive by negotiating financial restructurings with their major stakeholders. Others may need formal insolvency protection to deal with lenders, trade creditors, employees and other stakeholders. Fasken has one of the largest and most highly ranked groups in Canada focusing exclusively on insolvency and restructuring, with market leading practitioners sitting in all of Canada’s major centres.
