In today's business climate, starting and maintaining a business can be a complex endeavour.

 

I provide legal advice to small businesses, start-ups and entrepreneurs. I steer my clients through the legal complexities of business and handle all kinds of legal needs of small businesses, start-ups and entrepreneurs providing prompt, practical, and effective solutions throughout a company's life cycle.

 

Strategic legal advice at every stage is critical for the success of a business. Small businesses would benefit from having an in-house legal counsel that can provide day-to-day strategic legal advice and guidance with decision making. Small companies and start-ups are often, too small and cash – strapped to hire an in-house counsel. I help small businesses by providing cost-effective general counsel services on an on-going basis that are aligned to their specific needs.

      I provide clients the following legal services:

​

• Business Entity Formation

• Incorporation (both federal and provincial)

• Business Name Registration

• Organization of the Corporation (Minute Book compilation and update)

• Shareholder Agreements

• Incorporating changes to the company and updating company records to reflect the changes e.g. change of directors or share holders, change in company address, changes to company’s share structure, Issue or transfer of shares etc.

Estate Planning is an important tool in preserving one’s wealth and transferring the estate to one’s family. Estate planning involves more than just bequeathing assets to one’s family; it is a whole dynamic process that involves tax planning, financial planning, business planning and medical planning. No estate is too small or insignificant to plan and various issues need to be considered while preserving your wealth both during your lifetime as well as after your death.

​

I understand that discussing topics involving the mortality of loved ones is often difficult for most clients. With that in mind I respectfully and carefully understand the wishes of my clients and provide them with a variety of solutions to address their unique estate planning needs. From helping clients protect their property from high probate taxes to minimizing income tax obligations, I offer my clients an array of estate planning tools, including:

​

• Drafting of Wills

• Preparation of Powers of Attorney for Property and Personal Care
