PROFESSIONAL BACKGROUND:
After being admitted to the Alberta Bar in 1973, R. Gordon Cormie practiced in Calgary with several prestigious law firms before becoming a partner at Scott Venturo LLP. Mr. Cormie’s experience in the area of securities, corporate/commercial and oil and gas (resource and energy) law has allowed him the opportunity to work on many types of transactions. These types of transactions typically necessitate knowledge of appropriate regulatory bodies in Alberta and throughout Canada. Amalgamations, acquisitions and divestitures constitute a major part of Mr. Cormie's practice. He also has a significant focus on real estate development both from the developers’ perspective but also from a banking or financing perspective. This involves each level of government whether municipal, provincial or federal and includes applications for approvals and negotiations required to further plans of his corporate clients. Although his main focus is in the Province of Alberta, Mr. Cormie has advised on transactions on behalf of clients involved in the United States, Europe and the Far East. Mr. Cormie has acted as a director and officer of a number of public companies, as well as private companies, most of which are active in the resource-energy sector, to assist in developing corporate plans.
