Davies has extensive experience with high-yield and investment-grade debt offerings, both public and private, in Canada and cross-border. Our leading position as an adviser for debt offerings is reflected in our long-standing relationships with the Canadian and U.S. investment banking communities and some of the most prominent issuers of debt, including Barrick, Manulife, Rogers and the Quebecor group of companies.
The depth of our knowledge in this and related practice areas, combined with the breadth of our experience with issuers in a broad range of industries has helped keep us at the leading edge. It has also involved us in many of the most significant debt offerings by Canadian issuers.
Since 2005, Davies has acted for corporate issuers in offerings of over $60 billion of investment grade debt. Davies also continues to be at the forefront of the Canadian high-yield market, acting as counsel on many of the offerings that defined the re-emergence of this market, including the offerings by Air Canada, Canadian Satellite Radio, Quebecor Media, Videotron and Xplornet Communications.
