Veteran Calgary energy sector deal maker Patrick Burgess has left Gowling Lafleur Henderson LLP for Dentons Canada LLP, his new firm announced Monday.
Mr. Burgess, who has 30 years of experience in Calgary's oil business, joins the Dentons energy transaction group as a partner. He has worked on deals for a variety of companies, large and small, Canadian and international, including acting for Calgary-based Crescent Point Energy Corp. in billions of dollars worth of acquisitions in recent years.
"His wealth of knowledge in the energy sector coupled with his widespread cross-border connections makes him a tremendous asset to the Calgary office and to Dentons, locally, nationally and globally," Don Leitch, managing partner in Calgary for Dentons, said in a news release.
