Shareholder agreements
Most business disputes we see could have been avoided with a written agreement. A shareholder agreement sets out who decides what, how money comes in and out, and what happens if a partner wants to leave, becomes ill or passes away.
International and cross-border matters
Jatinder is qualified in Ontario and India, and previously worked in national-level corporate regulation. That experience helps clients whose business, family or documents involve another country, including setting up in Canada, cross-border contracts, and coordinating with foreign counsel when another country's law applies.
Questions clients ask
Should I incorporate federally or in Ontario?
Both are valid. Federal incorporation gives name protection across Canada; Ontario incorporation can be simpler for a business that will stay in Ontario. See our incorporation guide.
Can you review a contract someone else drafted?
Yes. We review it, explain what it means for you in plain language, and suggest changes to negotiate.
Do you help businesses from outside Canada?
Yes. We help foreign businesses and individuals set up and operate in Canada, and coordinate with lawyers in their home country.
