We provide our clients with advice on a wide range of transactional matters including planning acquisitions, structuring transactions in a tax effective manner, implementing strategic business combinations, and corporate reorganizations. Our team has expertise from the initial stages of a letter of intent and confidentiality agreement, through the due diligence and negotiation processes, and culminating in the closing of the transaction. Our business lawyers work closely with a number of practice groups within the firm to achieve our clients’ goals including, without limitation with respect to confidentiality, intellectual property including trademarks and licensing, real estate and employment issues. Most importantly, we ensure our clients understand their transactions, advising them of the legal risks involved and how to appropriately manage and minimize those risks.

We research, investigate, and negotiate on behalf of our clients in order to obtain the best possible outcome, and to complete your transaction successfully.

His experience and expert knowledge of the TSXV approval requirements provided us very effective guidance in the application of the proposed transaction. Joe’s advice was always prompt and of excellent quality, from providing valuable comments on the translated Mexican agreement, to helping us with news releases, shareholder memorandums, etc. His guidance was so clear and effective that we “passed” all of TSXV’s requirements promptly. Joe is a great professional who cares about his clients! We greatly appreciate having had the opportunity to avail ourselves of his services.”
