Brian Mainwaring is a partner in Gowlings’ Calgary office and is a senior member of the Corporate Finance and M&A Group. He is currently the Business Law Department Head and sits on the Calgary office's Executive Committee.

Brian's practice focuses  primarily on corporate securities and M&A law, mainly representing oil and gas reporting issuers (both corporations and royalty trusts) at all stages of their development, from initial public offerings to representing the firm's largest corporate clients (having multi-billion dollar market capitalizations). Of the clients he is principally responsible for, Brian is often a senior officer (i.e., corporate secretary) of the client and, for some, he also sits on their board of directors. He has also been counsel to special committees of boards of directors in situations such as corporate reorganizations (whether amalgamations, plans of arrangement or take-over bids) and conflicts of interest situations.

Brian currently serves on the Securities Advisory Committee of the Alberta Securities Commission.
