Corporate Law

Incorporation, M&A, contracts, governance, financing.

In short

Canadian corporate law is layered: federal and provincial statutes, securities rules, tax consequences, employment obligations. The advice that costs the most is the advice nobody got before signing. We act from incorporation through to sale, and we read an agreement for the clause that is missing as closely as the ones on the page.

Not sure this is the right area? Tell us what is happening and we will point you to the one that fits.
