Overview & About

About Wildeboer Dellelce LLP

The Canadian standard of entrepreneurial corporate finance, high-velocity capital markets execution, and agile business transaction advisory is personified by Wildeboer Dellelce LLP. Founded in Toronto in 1993 by Perry Dellelce, Robert Wildeboer, and their founding partners, the firm was established with a singular vision: creating an elite, specialized corporate and securities practice that matches the transactional sophistication of Bay Street mega-firms while delivering the responsiveness, cost-efficiency, and commercial drive of an entrepreneurial boutique. Operating out of its dedicated headquarters at Wildeboer Dellelce Place (365 Bay Street), the firm fields more than 50 lawyers and advisors. Wildeboer Dellelce consistently commands top-tier recognitions in Chambers Canada, The Legal 500, and Lexpert for Corporate Finance, Capital Markets, and Mid-Market Mergers & Acquisitions, and was named one of Canada's Best Law Firms for 2026 by the Globe and Mail.

Wildeboer Dellelce is widely recognized as one of the country's most active legal advisors for growth-stage companies, venture capital funds, and Canadian investment dealers. The firm acts as primary transactional and securities counsel across high-growth sectors—including technology, fintech, life sciences, digital media, clean tech, and mining exploration. Its lawyers regularly structure and execute initial public offerings (IPOs), reverse takeovers (RTOs), private equity investments, bought-deal financings, and cross-border M&A transactions, frequently representing Canadian underwriters, syndicate dealers, and TSX/TSXV/CSE-listed corporate issuers.

On the recruitment and talent development front, Wildeboer Dellelce runs an intimate, immersive program in its Toronto office, welcoming cohorts of approximately 4 to 6 2L summer students alongside 4 to 5 articling candidates each year, recruiting via the LSO-regulated OCI process at Osgoode, Ottawa, Queen's, TMU, UofT, Western, and Windsor. The curriculum provides direct, hands-on exposure to live transaction streams: students draft prospectus filings, subscription agreements, and ancillary closing documents, participate directly in deal management and closing calls, and conduct statutory securities research under partner mentorship. Operating from 365 Bay Street, Wildeboer Dellelce pairs fast-paced transaction flow with an energetic, collegiate culture and flexible hybrid work arrangements.
