Amaan Gangji has a practice focused on mergers and acquisitions, private equity transactions, technology and privacy laws, and general corporate law. He acts for a broad range of clients from start-ups and venture financed businesses to large private and publicly-traded corporations, across various industries including retail, manufacturing, technology, insurance, automotive and forestry. The most significant portion of Amaan's practice involves advising Canadian and foreign buyers and sellers in share and asset sales and acquisitions (including in competitive auction processes and complex multinational transactions). As a part of his corporate and commercial practice, he also regularly drafts, negotiates and advises on contracts relating to ongoing business matters and operations. As a part of his technology and privacy practice, he has experience helping clients implement compliance programs with respect to Canadian privacy and anti-spam legislation. Amaan's breadth of experience enables him to assist clients at every stage of their business-cycle, whether it be advising on: the initial structuring (or subsequent restructuring) of the organization (i.e., shareholder agreements, partnership agreeements, and joint venture agreements); the growth stage of the business and implementation of key contracts and documentation critical to its ongoing commercial operations (i.e., services and supply agreements, licensing, employment agreements, option plans, privacy policies and website terms and conditions); or guiding businesses through a variety of commercial transactions (i.e., mergers and acquisitions, capital raising, strategic business combinations and dissolutions). Prior to joining Lawson Lundell, Amaan was an associate in the Toronto office of one of Canada’s leading national firms where he developed a transaction-oriented practice with an initial focus on syndicated lending, asset based lending and P3 projects.
