Business & Corporate LawBusiness & Corporate LawAbout Pam Vermeersch
Pam Vermeersch is a partner in Gowling WLG's Hamilton office whose corporate and commercial work centres on M&A, private equity, restructurings and franchising. The deals are both domestic and cross-border, and governance questions are part of the mix too. Much of that experience comes from manufacturing, technology and franchise systems.
Vermeersch was called to the Ontario bar in 2007. At the Hamilton office, the partner led the Corporate Commercial Department in 2019 and 2020 and then served as managing partner from 2021 to 2025. These days Vermeersch chairs the firm's Corporate Department and sits on its National Management Committee, setting strategy for Gowling's Canadian corporate commercial, M&A, capital markets and tax practices.
A secondment with the Canadian subsidiary of a multinational manufacturer gave Vermeersch a close look at what businesses deal with when they set up and operate in Canada. Vermeersch makes a point of being responsive and personable, and of adjusting quickly to what each mandate and deal calls for. Outside work, the lawyer serves on several local boards, and was appointed to the Bay Area Health Trust board at its April 2023 annual general meeting.
