Bernard Pinsky is a partner of the firm and Chair of the Corporate Finance & Securities and United States Law Groups.

Bernard's practice focuses on the involvement of U.S. and other foreign businesses in Canadian and United States public markets, and financing for those companies. He also advises a variety of public and private companies and securities brokerage firms on legal matters related to acquisitions, mergers, takeovers, initial public offerings, financings, cross-border transactions, public company regulatory compliance and stock exchange practice. His clients include companies which trade on Canadian and United States Stock Exchanges and Quotation Systems, brokerage firms and private companies which issue securities.

In 1998, Bernard spearheaded the Corporate Finance & Securities Group's initiative to qualify three lawyers as California attorneys in order to offer the firm's clients better access to U.S. financial markets. As a result his group now has a number of lawyers with considerable U.S. legal experience who practice in the Vancouver office.
