Brick by brick, shaping your long-term business success
Legal structure & incorporation
Asking the right questions before anything gets signed. Sole proprietorship, corporation, partnership: I help you choose the structure and jurisdiction that actually fit your situation.
Shareholder structure
Who owns what, in what proportion, and why it matters. These decisions feel straightforward at the start, but they shape everything down the road.
Shareholder agreement
Signing clear agreements while everything is going well and establishing how you'll work with your partners. Planning ahead for death, illness and unforeseen circumstances.
Core contract drafting
Agreements that actually protect you, with your clients, suppliers, franchisors and service providers.
Commercial lease
Negotiating and reviewing a lease before you sign to protect you for 3, 5 or 10 years.
Employment contracts & non-compete clauses
Properly framing your first hires and laying the groundwork for clear, fair and respectful working relationships.
Confidentiality agreements
Protecting your ideas and sensitive information from the first conversation with partners, suppliers and employees.
Regulatory compliance
Making sure your company is in good standing at all levels of government (meetings, resolutions, registers), as well as with the professional orders you belong to and financial institutions (resolutions, legal opinions, mortgage registration).
