McMillan-Advised Deal Recognized for Cross-Border Excellence by The M&A Advisor

McMillan is proud that its client ASKO Holding’s acquisition of Buhler Industries has been recognized as a 2024 Cross-Border Deal of the Year in the $25-$50 million category by The M&A Advisor. The acquisition represented an important step in ASKO’s expansion into the North American market and is another example of McMillan’s deep expertise on cross-border merger and acquisition transactions and assisting clients to establish operations in Canada.

John Clifford, partner, M&A and Business Law, and Chief Client Officer of the firm, said, “ASKO’s acquisition is a prime example of McMillan’s ability to deploy a client-centric approach with deep bench strength and real-time solutions in order to get the deal done efficiently and cost-effectively, a combination which made a difference for our client. We’re honoured to have been involved on such an important transaction for ASKO, and that the deal is being recognized by The M&A Advisor.”

John Clifford and Laura Giesbrecht, partners in our M&A and Business Law Groups, co-led McMillan’s national multidisciplinary team that advised on all Canadian aspects of the transaction from the due diligence process to securities regulatory compliance. This award will be presented at the fifteenth annual International M&A Awards in New York on September 23^rd and 24^th, which will celebrate the leading firms, deals and professionals in the mergers and acquisitions space.

Congratulations to ASKO and the McMillan team. More about the team and transaction here.
