Members of our Montréal office contributed an in-depth article to Réseau Capital's publication Overview of Québec's Venture Capital and Private Equity Market titled "Deal-Making Amid Trade Tensions: Navigating M&A Risk in 2025." The article examines how Canadian dealmakers are adapting to escalating trade tensions and regulatory shifts, including the introduction of new tariffs and countermeasures between Canada and the United States. It explores practical strategies for navigating today's volatile environment, with insights on:

  • Enhanced due diligence
  • Negotiating MAE clauses and closing conditions
  • Earnout
  • The regulatory landscape

We are pleased to share the full 8-page article, available for download.
