The capital markets group at Torys is composed of ‘practical business advisers with a great view of precedents and trends’. Striking a balance between transactional and regulatory expertise, the team leverages the wider firm’s preeminent financial institutions offering to excel in representing financial services clients as both issuers and underwriters — it also routinely represents corporate issuers. The national department is co-led by Toronto-based David Seville (’one of the best in Canada’), Toronto-based Rima Ramchandani and Calgary’s Scott Cochlan — all of whom contribute broad corporate finance experience. Also highly regarded in Toronto are capital markets specialists Glen Johnson and Kevin Morris, as well as securitization partner Jim Hong and senior associate Michael Murphy. In Calgary, Michael Pedlow is noted.
