Paul Collins returns to Stikeman Elliott from Mergers Branch
Stikeman Elliott recently welcomed back Paul Collins, as he returned to his position as Head of the Competition and Foreign Investment Group at the firm, following a two-year term at Canada's Competition Bureau. Paul's time at the Bureau as the Senior Deputy Commissioner in charge of the Mergers Branch corresponded with significant enhancements to the Bureau's merger enforcement powers, and the successful prosecution of a rare contested merger case.
I recently caught up with Paul to discuss his experiences at the Bureau and to get his views on how he sees the Bureau exercising its merger enforcement authority going forward.
