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.
A company can be incorporated provincially or federally, and which route is better depends on where you operate and your plans.
Quebec businesses should also check the province's French-language requirements, which affect names, signage and some documents.
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.
