About Aleksandar (Sacha) Babic

Deals and private equity sit at the centre of Aleksandar (Sacha) Babic's corporate and commercial work. A partner at Gowling WLG in Hamilton, Babic advises private businesses of every size, from early startups right up to multinationals, with particular weight on mergers and acquisitions, corporate organization and restructuring, and private equity.

Public and quasi-public institutions are clients as well. Universities, school boards and hydro utilities come to Babic regularly, and their files often pair ordinary corporate and commercial questions with issues that only arise in their sector. Within the Hamilton office, the partner also sits on the senior management team and heads two practice groups: Corporate Commercial, and Real Estate & Lending.

Startups are a big part of the practice too. Close links to Hamilton's research institutions and its innovation community put Babic in touch with young companies in many industries, and a lot of that work is about getting groundbreaking research to market. Enedym, which aims to make electric propulsion motors much cheaper, brought in Babic and team as it moved from the research lab to the market.

That interest carries outside client work. Babic was among the mentors recruited in 2020 to advise resident teams at The Clinic, a program for health entrepreneurs, and returned as a judge for the 2021 LiONS LAIR pitch competition. Called to the Ontario bar in 2005, Babic also serves as a director of the Hamilton Health Sciences Foundation.
