Brandon-based Cando Rail & Terminals has announced the appointment of Eric Buettner as the company’s first chief legal officer.

Buettner has more than 10 years’ experience practising in the areas of corporate and commercial law with a focus on mergers and acquisitions at MLT Aikins, the company said in a press release Monday.

He is experienced in providing advice to private corporations and shareholders in the negotiation and completion of purchases and sales of businesses, commercial transaction structuring, mergers, corporate finance, corporate planning, organization and governance, and shareholder and partnership agreements.

Buettner has acted as external counsel for Cando since 2018, primarily on transactional, commercial and real estate matters.

Cando president and CEO Brian Cornick said the company’s second executive hire in six months is strategically important, as Cando remains focused on investing in rail infrastructure to support shipper-customers and Class 1 partners.

“Eric has built an exceptional track record, overseeing robust merger and acquisition transactions, implementing structures for new investments and helping to shape important commercial agreements,” Cornick said.

“Cando has quickly become one of North America’s largest owners and operators of first and last mile rail infrastructure. Bringing in a CLO of Eric’s calibre will be invaluable to Cando as we enter our most ambitious chapter yet.”

Buettner was born and raised in Winnipeg and is working out of Cando’s Winnipeg corporate office. He holds a BA and JD from the University of Manitoba and is a member of the Manitoba Bar.
