About
Horatio De Medeiros, business lawyer
Understanding what a business wants to achieve and helping it move forward with confidence: this is the common thread in Horatio De Medeiros’s career. A business lawyer, member of the Barreau du Québec and founder of Aigba Conseil & Gestion, he draws on fifteen years of experience in industry, finance and international projects.
This international outlook also shapes his education, with several master’s degrees in law earned in France and Canada.
Experience with international projects
At groups such as Rio Tinto and Électricité de France (EDF), Horatio has worked alongside the teams that prepare and deliver projects. His experience in energy, mining and infrastructure has developed through matters in Canada, Europe and Africa.
He approaches negotiations with a clear understanding of what will matter after signing, both for the teams involved and for their partners.
An understanding of financial and institutional priorities
His industrial experience is complemented by a background in banking and institutional environments, gained with National Bank of Canada, BNP Paribas and Investissement Québec. This gives him insight into a lender’s expectations, a public institution’s requirements and the priorities of a growing business.
With Aigba, a direct advisory relationship
At Aigba, this breadth of experience translates into a direct advisory relationship. You work with a lawyer who takes the time to understand your priorities and becomes involved in moving your matters forward.
Aigba advises Laurentian Bank on legal and contractual matters in connection with acquisition transactions involving Fairstone Bank and National Bank of Canada.
Horatio works in French and English with businesses and institutions in Canada and on their projects in West Africa.
