Business & Corporate Lawyers in Ontario

What "business lawyer" means in Ontario spans a wide range - a sole proprietor incorporating for the first time needs something very different from a company negotiating a share purchase agreement. Both ends of that range are represented among the firms below, from Bay Street firms handling complex M&A and capital markets work down to smaller general-practice firms that handle incorporation, commercial leases, and contract review for local businesses.

It's worth matching the size of the firm to the size of the matter - a large firm's rates usually reflect large-firm overhead, which makes sense for a complex transaction but is often more than a straightforward incorporation needs. Our Featured firm in this category, Stikeman Elliott, is a national leader for larger corporate and capital markets work.
