What business lawyers in Calgary help with

Business lawyers help with incorporation, shareholder and partnership agreements, commercial contracts, financing, and buying or selling a business. Larger firms also act on mergers and acquisitions.

Business law in Alberta: what to know

A company can be incorporated provincially or federally, and which route is better depends on where you operate and your plans.

How to choose a business lawyer in Calgary

  1. Confirm the lawyer is licensed and in good standing with the Law Society of Alberta.
  2. Ask how much of their practice is business, and how recent their experience is with cases like yours.
  3. Compare the Google rating together with the number of reviews, not the rating alone.
  4. Read recent reviews for comments on communication and responsiveness.
  5. Ask for the fee structure in writing before you sign, including what is billed separately.
  6. Meet with more than one firm if the matter is large, and trust the one that explains your options clearly.

Questions to ask at your first consultation

What to bring

How the process usually works

  1. You explain the goal and the key people involved.
  2. The lawyer proposes a structure and gives you a fee estimate.
  3. Documents are drafted, negotiated and revised.
  4. You sign and the lawyer files any required registrations.
  5. The firm stores the corporate records or hands them to you.

Costs and fees

Incorporation is commonly a flat fee. Deals and negotiations are usually hourly or capped, so ask for an estimate with the main assumptions. Ask about disbursements (third-party costs), taxes, and what happens if your matter changes in scope. Many firms offer a first consultation, but confirm whether it is free.
