Business & Commercial: Common Questions
Should I incorporate my business?
Incorporation can offer liability protection and tax-planning advantages, but it is not right for everyone. We walk you through the trade-offs for your situation and handle the incorporation if it makes sense.
Do I really need a shareholder or partnership agreement?
If you have partners, yes. A clear agreement on decisions, money, and exit prevents most serious disputes later, and it is far cheaper to set up than to litigate.
Can you review a contract before I sign?
Yes. A focused review before you sign can catch one-sided terms and real risks. We give practical advice, not just a list of issues.
How much do you charge?
For most matters we work on a flat fee agreed in writing before any work begins, so you know the cost from the start rather than facing an open-ended hourly bill. For larger matters we can structure payment around milestones. Your first consultation is free, and you receive a clear breakdown of all fees up front.
Is my information confidential?
Yes. Everything you share is protected by solicitor-client privilege and stored on Canadian servers in compliance with PIPEDA.
How quickly will I hear back?
We aim to respond within one business day. For urgent or time-sensitive matters, call us directly.
