Business & Corporate LawBusiness & Corporate LawAbout Josh Almario
Josh Almario is a Toronto partner at Gowling WLG whose work spans M&A, securities and corporate finance, complicated reorganizations and everyday commercial files. On capital markets deals, Almario can sit on either side, for issuers or for dealers. Acquisitions work is just as balanced: targets and buyers alike, in private deals and public ones.
Public companies also lean on the partner for governance and disclosure work. Clients have come from Canada, the US and abroad, in sectors that include technology, life sciences, cannabis and energy.
Almario's name turns up on a number of the firm's deal teams. Alongside Peter Simeon, Almario co-led Gowling WLG's advice to Vaxxinator Enterprises on its 2021 reverse takeover with Atmofizer Technologies. Other files include Canadian counsel work for IM Cannabis on three Israeli acquisitions completed in 2022, acting for Scythian Biosciences on its 2018 deal for Aphria to buy its Latin American and Caribbean assets, and PlantX Life's 2020 purchase of the UK company Bloombox Club.
Almario's first call was to the Alberta bar in 2007, and an Ontario call followed in 2017. Before law school at Windsor, Almario earned a science degree with distinction from the University of Toronto.
