Torys Quarterly Piece on Sponsor-to-Sponsor Deals Featured in PE Hub Canada

A Q4 Torys Quarterly article on the unique dynamics of sponsor-to-sponsor M&A transactions has been featured in PE Hub Canada.

“The Growing Appeal of Sponsor-to-Sponsor deals in Canada” originally appeared in the Q4 fall edition of the Torys Quarterly and was co-authored by partners Guy Berman, Brett Saulnier, Laurie N. Duke and Stefan P. Stauder.

A small excerpt of the article is below.

By leveraging M&A experience and knowledge of the target company and considering representation and warranty insurance as an effective way to limit tail liability, the parties in a sponsor-to-sponsor sale can ensure a smooth process resulting in a good deal for both sides.
