BUSINESS & COMMERCIAL LAWYERS

We have served all entrepreneurs, from sole proprietors and startups to multinational and multi-billion dollar companies.

Our business law focus is on small to medium enterprises. We also litigate against businesses for torts and breaches of contracts.

On the solicitor side, we represent business and corporate clients with acquisitions, mergers, and commercial and corporate contracts.

Our experience includes all types of commercial contracts including sales, manufacturing, construction, architecture, interior design, gym and personal development services, medical and dentistry practices, retail, advertisement and marketing, software, cryptocurrency, financial loans, financial services and more.

We assist our corporate clients with all corporate agreements including shareholders’ agreements. We help our clients with business registration, expansion (in Canada and internationally), taxes, employment policies and contracts, and all legal transactions as an “in-house” business counsel.

FAMILY AND DIVORCE LAWYERS

We are fierce litigators. We help you file both uncontested and contested divorces, and we fight for your rights throughout the entire process, persistently and intelligently.

We protect your rights and advise you on property division, spousal support, child support, parenting claims including custody and access involving relocations or shared parenting time.

In court, we litigate high conflict and complex family cases involving legal issues linking Canadian courts with foreign countries, high net-worth properties, and family violence (psychological, financial and physical).

When there is cooperation in your case, we assist with settling matters and successfully mediating cases out of court in cost-efficient ways. We have a record of influencing uncooperative parties to successfully settle when it is in the best interests of the parties.

We are persistent, firm, and legally creative. We collaborate with clients and are committed to providing you with many strategic legal options to pursue your best interests.

We submit visa applications on behalf of corporations, professionals, students and individual family members.

We apply for study permits, post-graduate work permits, closed and open work permits, spousal sponsorships, live-in caregivers, permanent residence, temporary residence, entrepreneurial and corporate visas, and refugee status.

Depending on our clients’ goals, we advise our clients on long term strategies with respect to their integration in Canada and we always focus on their best interests.
