Overview

Structuring

Business structuring involves assisting our clients with whatever form of a business works best for them. We work with and assist business advisors at all stages of growth: From the initial set up, to restructuring a business along the way, whether it be for tax planning reasons, to accommodate and implement a business succession plan, or advise on growth strategies for the business.

Business Advice

  • drafting, negotiating and/or review of agreements (including shareholder agreements, intellectual property agreements, purchase and sale agreements)

We work closely with our business clients to ensure that they have a resource for all their business needs. In this respect our business advice includes daily business management, drafting, negotiating, and review of agreements of varying types, including shareholder agreements, intellectual property agreements, and purchase and sale agreements. Integral to our approach is to provide advice that ensures the legacy of our clients’ businesses, and we work with our clients and their advisors to pass the legacy on.

Mergers and Acquisitions

  • asset/share purchase and sale transactions

We assist businesses of varying sizes and types with their purchases or sales, at any time during the process, from focusing on confidentiality and management of the due diligence process, to negotiating and drafting the key purchase and sale documentation, to ensuring that the structure, personal or corporate, post transaction reflects the client’s goals.
