Some feedback we have received following cross-border work for clients:
“ Fasken came highly recommended by two independent, large firms in the US. Our company was undergoing a cross-border transaction, which was quite complex and required in-depth business considerations, regulatory advice, and Federal Commission interaction. The depth of knowledge and experience the Fasken attorneys brought to the table was astounding. ”
“ My firm engaged Fasken to assist us in connection with our private equity client’s acquisition. Our client and the entire deal team were very impressed with the work of the Fasken team. I frequently work with, and across from, top US firms as part of my private equity practice and the Fasken team was more responsive, more technically proficient and much easier to deal with. ”
