The challenges facing participants in today's capital markets are unprecedented. Regulations continue to evolve at different speeds around the world, and market volatility is always lurking around the corner.

Competition in this business is tough. Whether you are an investor, an underwriter, a listed company or a private enterprise considering going public, you need a trusted advisor with the experience to anticipate the challenges, and the expertise to turn those challenges into opportunities.

McMillan's Capital Markets Group helps clients in Canada, the United States and around the world to navigate the capital markets and reach the destination they have set for themselves—all while remaining in compliance with applicable regulations. Our understanding of the law, and our relationships with regulatory bodies and exchanges, helps us deliver unmatched value to our capital markets clients.
