Background

About Christopher Murray

I led Osler’s Asia-Pacific initiative, having advised a number of Chinese, Korean, Australian and South Eastern Asian based enterprises principally on their investments in Canadian energy and mining businesses. I also Co-Headed our Pension and Private Equity Investor group and REIT practice. Canada's pension funds are one of Canada's leading exports! My practice focused on board governance, strategy, and mergers and investments for public corporations, private equity sponsors and pension funds. I have been fortunate to have been involved in a wide range of deal sizes and degrees of complexities from Lexpert deals of the year to smaller yet still business critical transactions for mid-cap companies. I have a wealth of experience in corporate finance having advised on over 200 public offerings and dozens of IPOs in my career. I advised a number of public reporting issuers and their boards as well as Canadian pension plans as their principal trusted legal adviser on a range of matters. I was lucky to have practiced in Australia early in my career while on a two-year secondment from Osler.
