Catalyst Paper Corp., Richmond, B.C., Canada, has appointed Pierre A. Raymond an independent director of the company, effective immediately. Raymond retired this past May from Stikeman Elliott as a partner in the Montréal office. He served as chair of the firm from 2006 to 2012 and as a member of its partnership board and executive committee from 1997 to 2012
Leslie T. Lederer, chairman of the board, said that "I am pleased to welcome Mr. Raymond to our board of directors. His extensive knowledge and understanding of corporate strategy, finance, and management dealings will add a valuable perspective to the company. We look forward to benefitting from his judgment and counsel."
After he stepped down as chair of Stikeman Elliott, Raymond continued to coordinate the firm's multiple country and regional initiatives and maintained a management role in the Montréal office, with a focus on client relations. His practice focused primarily on public mergers and acquisitions, securities regulation, and corporate finance. He was counsel to various corporations with regard to national and international securities offerings, tender offers, and financings. Raymond also counselled U.S. and European clients with respect to Québec law in connection with international privatizations, tender offers, and acquisitions.
