2014 Canada Law Firm Of The Year: Borden Ladner Gervais

Borden Ladner Gervais has been a leader in representing sellside and buyside derivative users at a time of increased regulation from Canadian regulators. One highlight from the firm over the past 12 months was securing exemptive relief from the Canadian securities regulatory authorities in respect of conflicting Canadian mutual fund requirements in order to permit Canadian-domiciled funds, including those managed by international investment managers such as Fidelity and Franklin Templeton, to comply with the Dodd Frank clearing mandates.
