In case any of us are so inclined and I know there are several on this board...this is from the Financial Post. I'll post on the link library for future reference.

Companies looking for current regulatory information about Canada's capital markets have a new and interesting Web resource from an old player.

Stikeman Elliott LLP, one of Canada's go-to merger and acquisition law firms, has launched canadiansecuritieslaw.com a portal that provides clients, prospective clients and the public with the latest info on regulatory developments in securities law.

It runs the gamut from SEC developments to information covering the Canadian Securities Administrators, the Ontario Securities Commission, The Mutual Fund Dealers Association and the different exchanges, among others.

Users can also browse by relevant topics, including:

• Continuous & Timely Disclosure
• Corporate Governance
• Mergers & Acquisitions
• Registration & Registrants
• Securities Distribution & Trading
• Securities Law & Compliance
• Self-Regulatory Organization

It also includes access to relevant firm publications on various topics and has links to the key regulatory bodies governing Canada's capital markets.

It's the latest example of how law firms are stepping outside the traditional boundaries of single practice areas (ie. corporate finance) and presenting more of an integrated, multidisciplinary approach to marketing legal services and presenting information.
