The ‘very strong’ tax team at
McCarthy Tétrault is regularly called upon by financial institutions, REITs, private equity funds, pension funds and sovereign wealth funds for its transactional and contentious tax expertise. The structuring and negotiation of M&A, divestitures, joint ventures, equity investments and debt financings are core areas of expertise for the group. Leadership of the practice is shared between Toronto-based transactional specialist
Raj Juneja and Calgary-based Brett Anderson, who handles corporate tax planning and dispute resolution. Additional key contacts in Toronto include
Jeff Oldewening (M&A and tax planning); Anu Koshal, whose ’calm and assured demeanour makes him an excellent litigator’; ‘veteran’ sales and commodity tax specialist Randy Schwartz; transactional practitioners Patrick McCay and Stefanie Morand; and Simon Douville, praised for his ’thoughtful advice’. Geneviève Lille arrived at the Toronto office from DLA Piper (Canada) LLP in May 2024.
