Kerri Lui

Kerri Lui, a standout partner within the Business Law Group based in Toronto, has carved a niche in steering corporate transactions with a spotlight on the energy, mining, and defense sectors. Her expertise shines in guiding acquisitions, forging joint ventures, orchestrating investments, and shepherding the development of power generation assets, particularly through private mergers and acquisitions, ensuring corporate governance, and drafting project agreements.

Her track record includes advising both Canadian and international banks and borrowers on an array of secured lending and project finance endeavors, covering both syndicated and cross-border transactions. Kerri's experience is further enriched by her six-month secondment at a major US power developer's Canadian legal department in 2016, where she focused on project agreements and corporate issues. Earlier, in 2012, she gained invaluable insight during her secondment to a leading Canadian bank's legal department.

Kerri's academic credentials are equally impressive, holding a J.D. from the University of Toronto and an Honours Bachelor of Arts in Business Administration from the Richard Ivey School of Business. Her commitment to renewable energy policy research during her legal studies led to the co-authorship of an influential article on investment in Ontario's wind power sector, showcasing her depth of knowledge and commitment to the field.

Among her notable contributions, Kerri has guided a Korean power producer in divesting a significant equity stake in a wind project, facilitated a Canadian developer's sale of a substantial project, and assisted in acquiring solar projects in Brazil. Her involvement in the refinancing of a major gas-fired power plant in Ontario and securing multi-sourced project finance for a renewable power generation portfolio in Canada highlights her versatility and expertise in the domain.

Kerri's membership in the Law Society of Ontario, the Canadian Bar Association, and the Ontario Bar Association, coupled with her being called to the Ontario bar in 2012, underscores her standing in the legal community. Her role in transactions, such as the sale of equity interests in energy projects and the refinancing of power generation facilities, not only showcases her legal acumen but also her ability to navigate complex financial landscapes.
