Vancouver—Dentons is honoured to receive the M&A Advisor Turnaround Award in the category of Mining Deal of the Year and Cross-Border Restructuring Deal of the Year (up to US$100 million). The Vancouver-based Dentons team that worked diligently on the mining and restructuring deal, comprising John Sandrelli, Jordan Schultz and Gary Sollis, was also recently awarded with the M&A Advisor Award in the category of Real Estate Deal of the Year.

The M&A Advisor Awards recognize excellence in deal making, restructuring and financing, and celebrate the contributions and achievements of leading law firms and professionals.

“I am very proud of our team and the work we’ve performed,” said John Sandrelli, partner in our Restructuring, Insolvency and Bankruptcy group. “We offer our clients personalized service at home in British Columbia, across Canada and everywhere else they do business.”

The award winners—to be presented at the Awards Gala on January 28, 2016—were selected by an independent jury of industry experts.

This award recognizes a collaborative effort across several practices at Dentons, including mining, restructuring, corporate, and mergers and acquisitions, in the purchase of Veris Gold USA Inc. assets by Whitebox Advisors LLC (WBOX 2014-1 Ltd.).
