LEXPERT LEADING CORPORATE LAWYERS
WELCOME TO THE 2016 Lexpert/ROB Special Edition in which we present to you the leading Lexpert-
ranked Corporate Lawyers (beginning on page 5). We trust you will find the career biographical information
provided here to be helpful and perhaps the beginning of a "conversation" with one or more of these lawyers.
We also provide journalistic coverage in this Special Edition of topics that may concern you and your
company, concern you greatly in fact: new approaches for deals that befit challenging times; regulatory
amendments to the Canadian take-over bid regime; seeking a deeper understanding of data management;
and distressed M&A deals in the Canadian Oil Patch.
