A New Blueprint

Defining a new blueprint of client experience, our highly-tailored and meticulous approach is driven by a laser-like focus on our clients' objectives.

M&A

Sourcing, evaluating and negotiating acquisitions is at the core of our offerings in the private equity and corporate finance markets.

Our strength tends toward the buy-side, which by its nature enables novel thinking and creative solutions to execute on complex transactions along with financing structures and incentive programs that get the deal done.

Understanding the underlying pressures and constraints facing our clients allows us to effectively interface with our clients, counterparties and their respective counsels. We focus on developing a deep understanding of our client’s business and their needs. This, in turn, forms an important part of our value proposition.

Corporate and Commercial

Whether developing an asset, seeking approvals to operate, taking the product to market or funding the entire venture, Paladin can take care of each hurdle. We are familiar with the diverse local, provincial and national aspects of energy development, and all facets of corporate, commercial, regulatory and environmental aspects in that regard.

Paladin has been intimately involved in a number of energy development projects in Saskatchewan ranging in size from $3 million up to $540 million, assisting project proponents, investors and other stakeholders. Based upon our knowledge and experience in the Canadian energy industry, we have the ability to guide our clients to the successful completion of energy transactions and new major capital project developments.
