Corporate Finance/Securities.

Bernard Pinsky is a partner of Clark Wilson LLP and the Chair of its Corporate Finance / Securities and U.S. Law
Practice Groups.

In 1998, Mr. Pinsky spearheaded the Corporate Finance / Securities Group’s initiative to qualify three lawyers as California attorneys so as to offer Clark Wilson LLP’s clients better access to U.S. financial markets. The initiative culminated when the three were admitted to practice law in California on November 1, 1999. Clark Wilson LLP now has a number of lawyers with considerable U.S. legal experience who practice in its Vancouver office.

Mr. Pinsky has advised 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.

Mr. Pinsky’s current practice focuses on the involvement of U.S. and other foreign businesses in Canadian and United States public markets, and financing for those companies.

Mr. Pinsky obtained his Bachelor of Laws (Honours) degree from the University of Manitoba in 1978.
