Canada Press release - Recognition January 2025

We are proud to share that our Special Situations Team continues to lead the Canadian market for activism advisory matters and have retained our top rankings in the Bloomberg FY 2024 Global Activism Advisory league tables.

We are once again the #1 firm for company-side legal advisors in Canada and the #1 Canadian firm for activist-side legal advisors. We also remain the top firm in Canada by total number of engagements.

Additionally, our firm retained our top 10 ranking globally (rising to 8th place in 2024 from 9th place in 2023) and our #1 spot in Canada for company-side legal advisors in the category of aggregate activist stakes ($) in target companies as well as our #1 spot in Canada for company-side legal advisors in the category of market capitalization ($) of target companies.

Walied Soliman, KC, Global Chair of Norton Rose Fulbright, commented:

“Our Special Situations Team continues to be recognized as the preeminent legal advisors for shareholder activism and contested and complex transactions in Canada, and Bloomberg’s rankings reinforce our position as the firm of choice in this space. Canada has one of the most activist friendly regimes in the western world, which has naturally formed fertile grounds for proxy battles, hostile bids, complex M&A mandates and related M&A activism, and we are proud to have served our clients on these high-stakes mandates.”
