About Peterson McVicar LLP
Peterson McVicar LLP is a Toronto securities law firm. Dennis Peterson founded Peterson Law in 1995, and the practice has since grown into today's Peterson McVicar LLP. The firm keeps a narrow focus: taking emerging public companies through prospectus offerings, private placements, reverse takeovers, mergers and acquisitions, and stock exchange listings. Its clients are companies listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange, the TSX Venture Exchange and U.S. exchanges, and its practice is heavily concentrated on the mining sector, alongside an active crypto mining and fintech practice.
The firm also has direct experience with how securities regulation gets made. A senior partner spent close to three years as legal counsel in the Ontario Securities Commission's Corporate Finance Branch, later completed a two-year term on the OSC's Securities Advisory Committee, and now sits on the Securities Committee of the Prospectors and Developers Association of Canada. Dennis Peterson is the author and co-editor of Shareholder Remedies in Canada, published by LexisNexis. Peterson McVicar's office is on Yonge Street in downtown Toronto.
