After 15 years, one of Canada’s largest law firms is changing its cross-border strategy and dramatically downsizing its New York office.

Osler, Hoskin & Harcourt is scaling back its New York team to four lawyers from 15 or 16 a year ago, shifting its New York focus to advisory work. Cross-border corporate and securities partner Rob Lando, who is licensed to practice in both New York and Ontario, is the new office managing partner.
