Business Law Solutions That Put Your Success First

We advise businesses from start-up to succession planning. We advise on all components that most small businesses need including incorporations and corporate structuring, contracts, corporate governance, financing, reorganizations, mergers & acquisitions (M&A), shareholder agreements and disputes, and ongoing compliance. Our team also has extensive experience on commercial real estate purchases and sales, leasing, and property-backed transactions, so your corporate and property matters move in lockstep.

Yes. We support sole proprietors, scaling SMEs, and mid-market companies across sectors—tech, professional services, manufacturing, retail, hospitality, and more. Whether you’re opening your first location, negotiating a commercial lease, or preparing your company for acquisition, we tailor our approach to your stage and sector.

We help you choose the right vehicle (corporation, partnership, joint venture) and then complete the “after-incorporation” essentials that DIY platforms often miss—share issuances, articles, organizational resolutions, director/officer appointments, and a maintained minute book. We also align your structure with real life considerations such as succession planning, estate planning and other major life events (e.g., holdco/opco and title holding).

At minimum: annual corporate filings, annual corporate resolutions, current corporate records (minutes, registers), and updates for director/officer changes. Missing annual returns can lead to administrative dissolution which can have unforeseen and problematic impacts on land and personal property ownership as well as bank financing. We set a compliance calendar and can manage filings for you.

Absolutely. We draft and negotiate bespoke contracts including but limited to service and supply agreements, NDAs, IP and licensing, employment/contractor agreements, commercial leases, purchase and sale agreements, and website terms. Properly drafted contracts reduce disputes and protect and ensure your rights in your business dealings.

We have a pragmatic and solution orientated approach tailored to your business and your goals. Our team regularly handles corporate and shareholder disputes and coordinates with our real estate group when the dispute involves real property or with our talented litigation department if needed.

The process looks different to each business and whether you are buying or selling. Our team can guide you through the process at any stage from due diligence to contract negotiations, financings and closing.

We handle all aspects of commercial real estate needs including but not limited to offer letters, purchase and sale agreements, title review, financing, and closing. For leasing, we negotiate business-critical terms (use, exclusivities, assignment/subletting, TI allowances, rent abatement, operating costs) and align them with your corporate risk and growth plans (expansion options, relocation, early termination rights).

Clients cite our practical, responsive, and cross-disciplinary approach—corporate, disputes, real estate, and employment under one roof—so decisions consider legal, operational, and property impacts at once. Our team is recognized locally and plugged into global networks, giving you reach beyond BC when needed.

We’ll scope the work up front and discuss fixed-fee, phase-based, or hourly options depending on complexity (e.g., incorporation vs. transactional). Market guides show that corporate work can range widely by matter type and we keep you updated against scope so there are no surprises.
