Having Melissa as our legal guide was nothing short of transformative for our start-up. Right from the get-go, she impressed us with her extensive knowledge and experience across several industries, from tech to hospitality. Her ability to cater to both small enterprises and large multinational corporations is remarkable. Working with someone who understands the intricacies of the Toronto Stock Exchange and international markets provided us with a level of confidence and clarity we hadn’t found elsewhere.

In her role at BLG's Calgary office, Melissa’s leadership shines through. Her involvement in the Capital Markets and Corporate Commercial Group, combined with her co-leadership in the Driven by Women Initiative, speaks volumes about her commitment and expertise. Her dedication to pro bono work and her active role in BLG's Environmental, Social, and Governance initiative also stood out to us as a testament to her values and her drive to make a difference.

Our journey with Melissa involved navigating complex legal landscapes, from equity financing to corporate advisory services. Her guidance was pivotal in our acquisition endeavors, both within Canada and internationally. It’s rare to find someone so adept across various sectors, and her counsel was instrumental in our successful navigation of these challenges.

Melissa’s achievements and recognitions, including her listing in The Best Lawyers in Canada® for Oil & Gas Law and Securities Law, are well deserved. Her nomination for the Women in Law Leadership Award further underscores her prowess and influence in the legal profession.

For anyone looking for legal support in Calgary, especially in sectors like technology, mining, or oil and gas, Melissa is an unparalleled asset. Her approachability, combined with her profound expertise, makes complex legal processes seem manageable. Our company’s journey has been significantly smoother with her by our side, and for that, we’re incredibly grateful.
