The T. Eaton Company Limited

McCarthy Tétrault (Montréal) acted on behalf of The T. Eaton Company Limited in connection with the latter’s sale of its downtown Montreal store which was purchased by Ivanhoe Inc. The value of the transaction was $34 million. The store is a Montreal landmark and when the conveyancing documentation was signed on behalf of Eaton’s (there are so few executives left at the company that no one could come to Montréal) it represented the end of an involvement with the property by McCarthy Tétrault which can be traced back to the beginning of the century. Lead counsel for McCarthys was John T. Sullivan.
