McCarthy Tétrault, one of the largest law firms in Canada, is making a move to Manhattan.

The 570-lawyer firm, which is based in Toronto, announced Wednesday its plans to open an office in New York in an effort to capitalize on U.S. clients looking to do business in Canada. The new outpost will be led by its newest addition, Mark Adkins, who joins McCarthy Tétrault from Canadian rival Blake, Cassels & Graydon’s New York office.
