We are pleased to welcome Peter Danner to McCarthy Tétrault as a Partner in our M&A Group in Calgary. Peter is a leading corporate and transactional lawyer focused on energy, mining, and infrastructure projects, advising on acquisitions and divestitures, strategic investments, private equity transactions, joint ventures and complex commercial arrangements.
Peter’s practice regularly supports operating companies and investors on significant transactions in Western Canada and beyond. He advises clients on a broad range of transactions across the energy sector, including in oil and gas exploration and production, midstream infrastructure, refining, retail and other energy-related industries.
