Overview

Scott Bell’s practice focuses on resolving critical legal issues for many of Canada’s leading corporations and financial institutions. In addition to working directly with Torys’ external clients, Scott acts as an adviser and sounding board for the 300+ lawyers across the firm’s offices (especially in the areas of corporate law, contract interpretation, financial institutions, corporate governance, private equity, M&A and statutory interpretation).

A significant part of Scott’s practice involves advising public-sector pension funds (including Canada Pension Plan Investment Board, OMERS and Ontario Teachers’ Pension Plan Board) on structuring large acquisitions around the world in compliance with the investment restrictions in their governing legislation.
