Banking & Private Capital

Our knowledge of the energy industry and the laws governing its key players is extensive. Our experience with production-based and balance sheet driven finance is second to none.

Our project depth is truly impressive, in terms of size, variety and technical/legal complexity. Our lawyers are the leading counsel in cross-border debt placements by US institutional investors in Canada ─ and private capital investments in the Canadian energy market.

Our expertise in financial products ─ financial derivatives and commodity swap programs, both physical and financial ─ is extensive and growing as new products (take Kyoto environment credits, for example) continue to emerge in our sophisticated and innovation-propelled market.

And we have proven experience acting for domestic and international financial institutions and borrowers in Canada and abroad on complex financing transactions, including sovereign credit, infrastructure and project finance, securitizations and leasing.

Our business and institutional clients are confident that Macleod Dixon will get their work done properly and efficiently.

And equally important, they know that the valuable relationships they have cultivated with their deal counterparts will be preserved, and even enhanced, by involving lawyers who understand the deals, the industries and the players, and not least, the importance of continued good relationships once the deal's been papered.

There’s one other thing that sets us apart. Our global reach.

No other law firm is located in the places we are. With seven offices around the globe, Macleod Dixon is one of Canada’s largest international law firms. Our lawyers are highly skilled in navigating the complex local and international banking and finance laws, regulations and customs. We set a top-tier North American level of service as our base.

Our clients know that when they retain us, we will be devoted to their work and committed to their desired outcomes. We've proven it since our firm’s inception almost 100 years ago. Our involvement with leading banking and financial services providers and consumers on their key transactions has ingrained in us a best-in-class service tradition and attitude. Without hesitation, we believe you'll be impressed.
