Moreover, Schroder assisted REACH Canada Accelerator Ltd. with its first-ever REACH Canada program and with investment into its eight real estate technology cohort companies. In addition, he worked with Yangarra Resources Ltd., WOW Unlimited Media Inc., Canaccord Genuity Corp., Regulus Resources Inc., RBC Capital Markets and National Bank Financial Markets, Cassiar Gold Corp., and Seaport Global Securities, LLC.
Eva Bellissimo, McCarthy Tétrault’s national practice group leader for business law, highlighted Schroder's work with established public companies and emerging market players.
"Canada and its western economy are experiencing unprecedented changes that require our clients to be nimble and proactive in their business strategies. Having a strong bench of talented and creative lawyers is key to helping our clients meet these changes, and Jack is a natural fit for both our western team and national platform," Bellissimo said in a statement.
Schroder praised the Calgary office's familiarity with the market.
"I’m thrilled to be joining McCarthy Tétrault. The Calgary office has an excellent sense of the local and regional market and is very well supported by the firm’s tightly integrated national teams," he said. "There’s this really strong ability to provide clients with everything they need, and I’m excited to see how I can leverage this for our clients, especially when I’ve spent a lot of time working with businesses that have unique demands requiring diverse perspectives."
