Advises PSP Investments on sale of Lyons Magnus
Sale to Truelink Capital.
Global Independent Advisory
Independent advisory firm with a Toronto Strategic Advisory (M&A) office on Bay Street.
Evercore's Canadian presence is one office at 181 Bay Street in Toronto, its only Canadian location. The firm's student-careers page lists Toronto among the locations of its Strategic Advisory (M&A) group, and its public team directory shows one Toronto-based managing director, who it describes as part of its Canadian advisory business. Recent mandates with Canadian clients include advising OMERS Infrastructure on the sale of LifeLabs and PSP Investments on the sale of Lyons Magnus. Equities (Evercore ISI) serves Canadian institutions from the U.S. under the international dealer exemption rather than through a Canadian-registered dealer.

Reasons that work in interviews
5 reasons for Evercore
Anchor the answer to the Toronto or Calgary office rather than the global brand. “Why Goldman” answered with global league tables is the single most common failure in this category.
Many new Canadian teams given restructuring of the US division into Canada, presenting you with many new and unique opportunities.
Leader in private capital advisory and strategic capital solutions, a space with enough uncertainty that expertise genuinely matters rather than being a nice-to-have.
The funds advisory lens teaches you what makes a good fund and a good liquidity solution, which is a different education from buyout M&A teaching you what makes a good business.
No balance sheet means no financing conflict, so the advice is the product and juniors see the reasoning rather than the cross-sell.
Restructuring and debt advisory depth gives you a counter-cyclical skill set that pure M&A shops cannot teach.

Product 1
Sit inside investment banking and work across the coverage teams rather than holding clients of their own. M&A is the one to understand: it does the modelling and execution on deals most coverage groups originate.
Strategic Advisory
Evercore's M&A advisory group; Toronto is one of its listed recruiting locations, and the Canadian practice advises Canadian and global companies on M&A, recapitalizations, restructurings and related financings.
