For several decades, Goodmans has been among Canada’s top legal advisors on initial public offerings (IPOs).  Since 2000, we have been involved in more than 50% of inbound cross-border IPOs on the Toronto Stock Exchange, and have unparalleled expertise in assisting US and international clients to successfully access the Canadian capital markets.

We have played a unique leadership role in the creation, structuring and implementation of many of Canada’s important capital markets products, including real estate investment trusts (REITs) and special purpose acquisition companies (SPACs), and are renowned for advising on many of Canada’s going public “firsts”.
