We provide legal support for fund formation, portfolio company acquisitions, minority investments, exit transactions, and related governance matters. Our practice includes work with institutional investors, family offices, and high-net-worth individuals making private market investments. We coordinate due diligence processes and prepare transaction documentation to institutional standards while addressing both Canadian regulatory requirements and cross-border investment structures.
Processing timelines vary depending on the specific pathway and current government processing times. Intra-company transfer work permits often process within several weeks to a few months. Permanent residency pathways for executives generally involve longer timeframes. We provide realistic timeline expectations during our initial consultation and maintain communication throughout the process to keep you informed of progress and any developments that may affect timing.
A well-prepared shareholder agreement addresses voting arrangements, share transfer restrictions, decision-making processes for major business matters, dispute resolution mechanisms, and exit scenarios. The specific provisions depend on your business structure and the relationships among owners. We recommend establishing these frameworks early in the business relationship, before potential disagreements emerge. This approach protects business continuity and helps preserve professional relationships among co-owners.
Our fee structures vary based on the nature and complexity of the matter. For some services we offer fixed fee arrangements where appropriate. For complex transactions or matters requiring ongoing counsel, we typically work on an hourly basis with clear communication about anticipated scope and costs. We provide detailed engagement letters outlining our fee structure and billing practices before beginning work, ensuring you understand the financial aspects of our relationship.
Professional confidentiality and discretion are fundamental to our practice. We maintain strict protocols for protecting client information, including secure document management systems and careful handling of sensitive communications. Our professional obligations under Law Society rules require us to protect client confidentiality, and we take these responsibilities seriously. Many of our clients value discretion in their business and personal affairs, and we structure our operations to respect these concerns.
