Gowling WLG’s banking and finance practice garners a significant volume of real estate-related transactions, with Toronto-based based lending head, Christopher Alam, additionally leading the real estate team in Toronto. The national group also includes Calgary-based Elizabeth Burton, who specializes in energy, real estate and agribusiness-related financings; Toronto-based Kelby Carter, who advises on transactional and regulatory matters; and Toronto’s Robert Farmer, who — like Alam — also demonstrates a strong record in real estate-related work.
