Corporate Law · Ontario and federal
Two founders incorporating, before anything is worth arguing about
Almost every founder dispute we see was decided by a document nobody wrote at the start.
What the work involves
- Advise on federal against provincial incorporation, and what each means for the company's plans.
- Incorporate, organise the minute book, and issue shares properly rather than retroactively.
- Draft the shareholder agreement: vesting, transfer restrictions, deadlock, and departure.
- Assign into the company the intellectual property each founder created before it existed.
This describes the shape of a matter of this kind, not an individual client file. It is not legal advice, no outcome is implied, and how any particular matter runs depends on its own facts.
