Buying and Selling a Business

Legal documents for transfer of a business, such as share and asset purchase agreements. Legal due diligence of target business, and cleaning up seller's business in anticipation of sale.

Corporate Finance and Lending

Commercial loans and mortgages, private issuances of shares (prospectus exempt transactions).

Commercial Leasing

A commercial lease is a binding contract between the owner of commercial property (the landlord) and one or more tenants who wish to occupy that property for a certain time. Commonly third party guarantors, usually the owners of the tenant’s business, are also parties to the commercial lease. Third party guarantors guarantee the performance of the lease by the tenant.

Privacy Policies

We can assist your in drafting a privacy policy for your company and/or your website.

Intellectual Property

Protection of proprietary information and ideas, whether registered or not.

Commercial Real Estate

There are many considerations to make when purchasing commercial real estate, whether the intended use is for development or simply to keep using the property as-is. While price and location often dominate the conversation, numerous legal issues can affect the viability of a commercial real estate deal in BC.

Franchising

There are different considerations for the Franchisor (person setting up the franchise) and the Franchisee (person entering into the franchise). We regularly advise on Franchise agreements from both points of view.

Shareholder / Partnership Agreements

These are highly recommended agreements for parties entering into business arrangements.

Other Commercial Contracts

We regularly draft and review all types of commercial contracts for our clients, such as: General Contractor Agreements, Builder Contracts, Non-Disclosure, Confidentiality and Non-Compete Agreements, Independent Contractor Agreements, Design Contracts, Employment Agreements, Franchise Agreements and Sales Agency Agreements.
