Law firm provides expertise to large M

When Canada and China established diplomatic ties almost 40 years ago, bilateral trade was limited to wheat.

Commerce between the two countries now exceeds $30 billion, while foreign direct investment in Canada has spiked due to China's huge demand for raw materials and a need to invest its foreign exchange surplus.

Among the many Canadian firms that have been helping China's largest companies and State-owned enterprises invest in the country is leading law firm Davies Ward Phillips & Vineberg LLP.
