Bruce Lawrence joins Fasken's capital markets and M&A group in Calgary as a partner after more than 40 years in corporate and commercial practice. Canadian Lawyer reports that he was most recently a partner and senior counsel at Borden Ladner Gervais, which he joined in 2005, and earlier spent more than two decades at Parlee McLaws. He has advised oil sands, offshore oil and gas and other natural resources companies, along with public and private companies, on financings, takeover bids, plans of arrangement, acquisitions and reorganizations, and he has sat on several corporate boards. Alex Kotkas, Fasken's managing partner for Alberta, said Lawrence's deal and energy sector experience will help the firm support clients in Alberta and across Canada.
