Work Assignments
McCarthy Tétrault has a multifaceted and sophisticated group of clients. This provides the opportunity for students and associates to be part of cutting-edge files across a wide range of practice areas and industries and exposes you to emerging legal trends.
Student Work Assignments
At McCarthy Tétrault, our lawyers rely on the work produced by our students to provide direct and excellent service to our clients. We believe that the most rewarding learning experience comes from making an important and valuable contribution.
Business Law Assignments
Our business law group is among the most sophisticated in Canada, consistently garnering high profile-transactions and advising on cross-border mandates. Practice areas within the group include: M&A, Private Equity, Capital Markets/Securities, Financial Services/Lending, Technology/Intellectual Property, Shareholder Activism and Competition/Antitrust. The business law group represents several large and well established companies but is also active in emerging industries and consistently leads the market in both number and value of deals.
Litigation Assignments
Our litigation practice is second to none in Canada and over the years, we have encountered just about every possible litigation challenge.
Labour & Employment Assignments
Our Labour & Employment group is a dynamic, experienced group that works with both federal and provincial employers in the public and private sectors.
Real Property Assignments
Our Real Property group is the largest such group in all of Canada and represents a broad group of clients in diverse commercial real property matters including acquisitions and dispositions, secured financing transactions on behalf of both lenders and borrowers, real estate equity fund formation, construction, development, leasing, municipal (planning), infrastructure projects and public-private partnerships.
Tax Assignments
Our Tax group includes a strong national tax litigation and dispute resolution practice with an active trial and appellate practice.
We work on the most sophisticated tax planning and tax litigation matters in the country and are regularly retained as tax counsel to carry out bespoke tax planning on behalf of major public and private companies.
Unlike many firms, where the tax lawyer services the transactions done by the business law groups, at McCarthys our tax lawyers work primarily on tax planning for clients who come to the firm for our specific planning expertise.
