Biography
Brant is a business lawyer with a particular focus on mergers and acquisitions, corporate transactions and strategic commercial advice. He advises entrepreneurs, business owners, private companies and larger organizations on acquisitions and divestitures, corporate structuring, commercial agreements, financing and other significant business matters.
Brant regularly acts on mid-market M&A transactions, advising buyers and sellers from the early stages of a transaction through negotiation, due diligence, structuring and closing. He also works with business owners well before a transaction arises, helping them structure and position their businesses for growth, investment or eventual sale.
Having worked both in private practice and in-house with a large Winnipeg based publicly traded company, Brant brings a business perspective to his legal advice. He understands that legal advice is only useful if it works in the context of his client’s business. His approach is practical and solutions-oriented: understand a client’s objectives, identify the risks that genuinely matter, and find a path that gets the deal or business decision accomplished.
Brant works with clients across a number of industries, including insurance and financial services, agribusiness, technology, professional services and real estate. His experience includes advising on acquisitions and growth strategies, commercial contracts, corporate governance, financing arrangements, technology and SaaS agreements, and commercial real estate development, acquisition, financing and sale matters.
Brant is also frequently engaged as Manitoba counsel by businesses and law firms outside the province in connection with acquisitions, financings, corporate reorganizations and other transactions involving Manitoba entities or assets.
Outside his practice, Brant is actively involved in the community. He serves as a Director and President of the Manitoba Cerebral Palsy Sport Association and as a member of the Governance and Nominating Committee of the Children’s Hospital Foundation of Manitoba. He also volunteers as a youth hockey and para-hockey coach.
