Business & Corporate LawBusiness & Corporate LawAbout Luke Hills
Luke Hills is an associate in Gowling WLG's Toronto office whose work centres on deals. Mergers and acquisitions make up a big share of it, whether domestic, international or cross-border, for public and private companies alike as well as private equity and venture capital funds. The rest is capital markets deal work and advice on securities regulation.
In M&A, Hills has represented buyers and sellers from Canada and abroad on private transactions, and has sat on either side of public company takeovers, acting for purchasers and for targets. Financing clients have included public and private issuers, plus underwriters on public and exempt market offerings. Private equity and venture capital funds have also relied on the associate, as have institutional and strategic investors putting money into Canadian businesses. The sectors vary a lot, from gaming and cannabis to life sciences and mining.
Called to the bar in British Columbia in 2017 and in Ontario in 2020, Hills worked in the securities group of another national full-service firm before moving to Gowling WLG. The University of Ottawa law graduate (cum laude) also holds a finance business degree. Away from transactions, Luke's a volunteer with Big Brothers Big Sisters Toronto.
