Indispensable guidance through a complex cross-border acquisition

Our company recently navigated a high-stakes acquisition of a US-based energy services firm with significant Indigenous land interests. The transaction was fraught with regulatory complexity, requiring expertise that spanned M&A, energy sector nuances, and deep respect for Aboriginal law considerations. Amy Carruthers was recommended to us for her singular focus on M&A, and she proved to be the cornerstone of our successful outcome. Her profound understanding of the intricate layers involved—from structuring the deal to addressing the unique due diligence requirements related to Indigenous partnerships and environmental regulations—was immediately apparent. Amy’s recognition in these distinct yet intersecting fields wasn’t just a credential; it was our strategic advantage. She guided our board with exceptional clarity, anticipating challenges we hadn’t even identified and fostering a collaborative, solution-oriented process with all parties. Her professionalism instilled confidence at every turn, and her negotiation acumen secured terms that protected our interests while ensuring a respectful and sustainable path forward. Engaging Amy and the team at Fasken was the best decision we made. For any complex M&A matter, especially one touching on energy or Indigenous matters, she is simply outstanding.
