Martin Aquilina brings a high degree of energy and passion to advising clients on a wide range of industries, including financial services, manufacturing, engineering and design, education, technology and fine arts. Owing to the many roles he has assumed throughout his career, Martin has strong technical skills in virtually all areas of the law that are likely to be encountered by a foreign enterprise seeking to do business in or with Canada: corporate set-up, privacy, regulatory, employment matters, intellectual property, financing (debt/equity/public/private), licensing and joint venture agreements, M&A and resolution of disputes. Martin’s pragmatism, broad experience and contacts and wide knowledge make him well suited to be general counsel for your Canadian operations.
