MLT Aikins is pleased to announce that its Mergers and Acquisitions group, led by partner Scott Markham and supported by associates Jayelle Friesen and Luc Deleau, successfully assisted in the acquisition of 13 orthodontic clinics across Canada from consolidator Canadian Orthodontic Partners. The series of transactions, taking place over the course of 2025 and 2026, involved different purchasers from Alberta to the Atlantic Provinces.
This engagement underscores the team’s experience and understanding of the commercial realities facing healthcare professionals looking to acquire or expand their practices. The capacity to manage multiple transactions, jurisdictions and timelines was balanced with the ability to advise each orthodontist on their individual financing, due diligence, structuring, regulatory and licensing needs.
“Working with Scott and the team was an outstanding experience,” said Dr. Rob Mintenko, Orthodontist. “They were responsive and thorough, and their background in the healthcare M&A space gave me complete confidence that every detail of my transaction was being handled with the utmost care.”
Orthodontist Dr. Hadi Daia, who completed a multi-clinic acquisition, echoed the sentiment. “From start to finish, I felt fully supported by Scott, Jayelle and Luc. Acquiring multiple clinics at once was no small undertaking and they guided me through every step with professionalism and a genuine commitment to getting the best outcome for me and my practice.”
The MLT Aikins Mergers and Acquisitions group continues to be a trusted advisor for healthcare professionals and businesses seeking counsel on acquisitions, divestitures and other strategic transactions throughout Canada. We regularly advise business clients in a manner that covers the entire cycle of business transactions, from structuring, legal due diligence and the negotiation of letters of intent to offers to purchase and agreements of purchase and sale.
