Financial Services
Increased competition, regulatory reform and the economic downturn have challenged the financial services industry worldwide. In the current environment, it is more important than ever for financial services companies to have experienced counsel with the industry knowledge, regulatory expertise and legal acumen required to deal with their increasingly complex issues.
Debt Finance & Lending Services
Good debt management can lead to growth by enabling businesses to obtain needed funding, while reducing borrowing costs and containing financial risk. However, businesses need to develop debt management strategies based on their goals, risks, ability to sustain debt, marketplace stability and competition. They also need favourable debt terms to optimize their chances of success.
Equipment Financing/Leasing Services
For businesses that require expensive equipment, the ability to obtain advantageous financing terms and leasing arrangements can mean the difference between success and failure. The Blakes Financial Services group has a top-ranked team of equipment finance and leasing specialists who advise on and document all forms of equipment finance, refinance and leasing transactions, including cross-border finance structures, multi-jurisdictional lease deals involving tax-based structurings, securitizations, large-ticket financing, sale-leasebacks and syndications, as well as developing small/mid-ticket lease and finance programs involving business and consumer customers across Canada.
Consumer/Retail Financial Services
Retail banking has been a significant and relatively stable income source for the global financial services industry throughout the financial crisis. However, the retail banking landscape is transforming due to rapid regulatory change, cross-border consolidations, M&A and new technologies. As financial services businesses attempt to focus on revenue growth, innovation, improved service and cost containment in this dynamic environment, they need to employ effective risk-management strategies and ensure regulatory compliance.
Construction Services
When engaged in construction, a host of issues may arise such as environmental regulation, First Nations rights and labour management. Timely resolution of these issues and identifying potential future issues before they occur saves time and resources.
