Achievements

Client Work

  • Sale of Ridley Terminals Inc. by Canada Development Investment Corporation on behalf of the Government of Canada for C$350,000,000, [Deal - Canada Development Investment Corporation], The transaction is the first Canadian privatization where local First Nations obtained an equity interest as part of the disposition. The First Nation participation will position the RTI transaction as one of the most important for 2019 and have lasting significance for comparable transactions in the future. The transaction resulted in one of the first joint ventures between US private equity and First Nations. Given the uncertainties associated with acquisitions of infrastructure, project and natural resource-based assets in Canada, this transaction can be used as a model of how to manage and structure similar private-sector acquisitions.
