Gowling Lafleur Henderson LLP continues to attract new talent, announcing Tuesday that it had snagged mining lawyer France Tenaille from Cassels Brock & Blackwell LLP.
Ms. Tenaille, a Spanish speaker who has practised law in Venezuela and specializes in private mergers-and-acquisitions and project finance in the Latin American mining business, joins Gowlings' Toronto office as a partner.
Scott Jolliffe, chairman and CEO of Gowlings, praised her "unparalleled background and connections" in a statement announcing the move.
Gowlings has also recently added Peter Simeon from Wildeboer Dellelce LLP and Avril Cole from Norton Rose Fulbright LLP to beef up its mining group. Gowlings also announced the defection of tax lawyer Paul Carenza from Cassels in January.
