Tax

Tory’s has maintained a long-term reputation as a tax powerhouse across transactional, advisory, and litigation support. Tory’s tax professionals deliver specialized advice across several industries including manufacturing, technology, and mining. The department is made up of twenty-four professionals. The group provides cross-border services in Canada and the U.S., with offices in Toronto and Calgary, and New York. 

Over the research period, Tory’s represented Brookfield in a complex, $20 billion dollar spin-off resulting in the division of Brookfields into 2 companies: Brookfield Corp and Brookfield Asset Management Corp. As both new corporations will be publicly traded, and assets were to be split Tory’s took a ‘butterfly reorganization’ approach which remains one of the most complex type of transactions in the Canadian tax system.
