Business & Corporate LawBusiness & Corporate LawAbout Aubrey Lasky
Aubrey Lasky is a corporate partner in the Waterloo Region office of Gowling WLG, and a lot of the work crosses borders. Clients include both private businesses and public sector bodies, based in Canada, the U.S., the U.K. and elsewhere. The day to day runs through commercial deals, mergers and acquisitions, joint ventures and corporate finance, with industry clients in manufacturing and construction, technology, infrastructure, and leisure.
International work goes both ways. Aubrey helps American and other foreign companies work out how they'll enter the Canadian market, and helps Canadian ones that want to do business abroad or open operations overseas. Called to the Ontario bar in 2003 and admitted in England and Wales in 2008, Aubrey practised corporate law with firms in Toronto and in London, England, before coming to the Waterloo Region office.
Best Lawyers has recognized Aubrey in Corporate Law since 2025.
There's a strong local side too. Aubrey is one of the founders of Next Generation, The Leadership Series, which works to develop and train the Waterloo Region's up and coming business leaders. Aubrey's volunteering has also included time at the Alzheimer's Society's head office in London, England.
