Whether we are representing a startup venture or an established business, our Canadian startup lawyers take the time to learn and understand your goals in order to provide the most cost-effective legal solutions.
We can help you start your business by incorporating. We will explain the differences between incorporating provincially (in Ontario) and federally.
We can help you select the best corporate structure (including issuing shares, electing a board of directors and appointing officers) and prepare all of the required by-laws and government filings for your company’s legally required record book.
We can help you prepare all of the necessary business contracts for your startup, including founders and shareholder agreements, reverse vesting agreements, stock option agreements and plans and agreements to protect your intellectual property.
Thinking of raising money? Whether it be from family, friends, venture capital funds or other entities/persons, there is a lot to think about. Let us simplify the process for you. We can walk you through the process and complete the investment transaction for you to ensure that everything is done in accordance with the applicable laws.
We draft customized agreements that outline the roles and responsibilities of each hired employee and contractor, while also ensuring that your startup maintains ownership of its intellectual property.
