Louis Asselin

Expert guidance on a complex cross-border acquisition

Our company, based in California, was navigating the acquisition of a manufacturing business in Québec. The cross-border legal and regulatory complexities were daunting. We were referred to Louis Asselin at Stein Monast and are profoundly grateful for his counsel. His deep, decades-long expertise in Corporate Law and Mergers & Acquisitions was immediately evident. He possesses a remarkable understanding of both the strategic big picture and the granular details of Québec's unique civil law system, which was invaluable. His recognition by Best Lawyers in these fields is well-deserved. Louis guided us through intricate due diligence, negotiated key terms with a sharp but pragmatic approach, and ensured the transaction complied with all provincial regulations. The deal closed smoothly, largely due to his steady hand. The only minor critique would be that during the busiest weeks, response times from his office could occasionally stretch to a day or two, but his communications were always thorough and worth the wait. For any business facing a complex corporate matter with a Canadian element, especially in Québec, Louis Asselin is an outstanding choice.
