I had the opportunity to work with Jasmine on a complex merger that was critical to our company's expansion strategy. Right from our first meeting in her office, located just a stone's throw from Calgary's bustling business district, it was clear that Jasmine was not your average lawyer. Her grasp of corporate finance and securities law, especially within the energy sector, was unmatched, and her strategic advice was invaluable.

Jasmine guided us through the intricacies of asset and share purchases with a finesse that only comes from deep experience. She was instrumental in navigating the negotiations, ensuring that our interests were protected at every turn. Her involvement didn't just stop at the boardroom; Jasmine was hands-on, ensuring compliance with securities laws and continuous disclosure obligations, which was a huge load off our shoulders.

One of the most remarkable aspects of working with Jasmine was her role in our dealings with the TSX Venture Exchange for a significant public offering. Her expertise was evident in how smoothly the process went, despite the potential for complications. It was a major win for us, and Jasmine's contribution was a big part of that success.

But Jasmine's talents go beyond just her technical legal skills. Her role as a corporate secretary for several private companies speaks volumes about her versatility and commitment to her clients' governance needs. It's not every day you find a lawyer who can effortlessly switch hats, offering both legal counsel and corporate governance support.

Jasmine's legal expertise spans the sectors of securities and corporate law, where she shines particularly in energy law, corporate finance, mergers and acquisitions, as well as in the detailed processes of asset and share purchases. She plays a pivotal role, guiding both sellers and buyers through the maze of public and private mergers and acquisitions, assisting issuers and dealers in navigating the complexities of debt and equity finance transactions, and ensuring public companies meet the stringent demands of securities laws and ongoing disclosure mandates. Jasmine's additional role as corporate secretary for various private companies underscores her versatility and commitment to her clients' corporate governance.

Her practical experience is both broad and impressive. Jasmine has been instrumental in significant transactions, including facilitating Evergen Infrastructure Corp.'s substantial brokered special warrant financing and its initial public offering on the TSX Venture Exchange. She was a key player in Surge Energy Inc.'s innovative charity flow-through share offering and managed the legal intricacies of K+S Aktiengesellschaft's divestiture of its Canadian salt business to Stone Canyon Industries Holdings LLC, showcasing her adeptness in handling high-profile deals.

Jasmine's thought leadership in the legal aspects of mergers and acquisitions, the risks faced by freehold lessees, and the evolving landscape of Canadian energy oil and gas transactions reflects her deep engagement with current trends and her ability to anticipate the needs of her clients. Her insights into the Federal Court of Appeal's rulings and mandated timelines for oil and gas site cleanups in B.C. highlight her comprehensive understanding of the regulatory challenges and opportunities within the energy sector.

Beyond her professional pursuits, Jasmine is deeply committed to the legal and broader community. Her board membership with the Canadian Association of Petroleum Landman, active involvement with the Canadian Bar Association, and contributions to the Law Society of Alberta and Calgary Bar Association demonstrate her dedication to the legal profession. Her volunteer work, ranging from the BLG Business Venture Clinic at the University of Calgary Faculty of Law to supporting initiatives like Motionball for Special Olympics and the Calgary Drop-in Centre, along with her creative contributions to the Legal Follies, showcases her commitment to giving back and her multifaceted talents.

Jasmine's academic and professional accolades, including the Law Society of Saskatchewan Gold Medal and the Ronald C. Cuming Award in Corporate Commercial Law, are testament to her exceptional legal acumen and dedication. Admitted to the bar in both Ontario and Alberta, her educational foundation in law from the University of Saskatchewan, coupled with her public relations degree from the University of Regina, equips her with a unique blend of skills that enhance her legal practice and client relationships.
