Along the way we typically guide our clients through matters including incorporations, shareholders' agreements, loan and equity financing, commercial lease negotiations, employment law matters, contract negotiations for various types of agreements, and company restructuring and corporate reorganizations for tax and succession purposes, often involving wills, powers of attorney and family trusts.
We also advise clients on matters relating to information technology and intellectual property law, both for businesses that are in the information technology and/or ecommerce fields, and for businesses for which intellectual property is not a line of business but is an important element of their value, for instance regarding brand protection and ownership and protection of internal processes. Further, we advise on matters relating to privacy law, which is increasingly important to all businesses in Canada due to various provincial and federal laws relating to the protection of privacy of customers, employees and others.
Please see our specific areas of practice, listed below, for further details.
