Asset Sale

For businesses or corporations looking to proceed with an asset purchase or sale, our law firm can guide you through negotiations, contracts, and regulatory requirements. We help minimize risk and liabilities, ensuring you meet all legal obligations. Our lawyers will also advise on potential financing options and intellectual property considerations to protect your ownership interests.

Share Sale

A share sale involves transferring ownership of a corporation’s shares from one business owner, shareholder, or investor to another. Our expert lawyers have extensive experience in commercial transactions, ensuring the proper documentation, compliance, and legal structure are in place for a seamless process. We help safeguard shareholder rights, handle potential shareholder disputes, and provide essential legal advice to protect your personal assets and manage your liabilities.

Incorporations

Incorporating in Alberta offers your business entity a strong legal standing, separating business liabilities from personal assets. At Bhardwaj+Co, our corporate lawyers and business lawyers can walk you through the incorporation process from start to finish, ensuring compliance with all legal requirements, including licensing, regulatory compliance, and tax obligations to the Canada Revenue Agency. We assist in setting up a corporate structure, drafting shareholder agreements, and helping you choose between a sole proprietorship, partnership, or corporation, depending on your business goals.

Annual Returns

Maintaining annual returns is crucial for keeping your corporation in good standing with the relevant jurisdiction and regulatory authorities in Canada. Our law firm will assist you in preparing and filing these documents to remain compliant with Alberta law. We will also remind you of upcoming deadlines and any changes to regulations that may affect your business operations.

Buying and Selling of a Business

Whether you’re a small business owner or representing a large corporation, the purchase or sale of a business can involve complex negotiations, contracts, and potential liabilities. As expert lawyers in commercial transactions, we can represent your interests throughout every stage of the process—from drafting letters of intent and business contracts to conducting due diligence and finalizing the purchase agreement. Our legal experience ensures that you’re aware of potential risks, regulatory compliance requirements, and any necessary licensing considerations.

Unanimous Shareholder Agreements

A unanimous shareholder agreement (USA) is essential for corporations aiming to establish clear rights, obligations, and procedures among shareholders. This legal agreement can help prevent disputes and protect shareholder rights by setting out guidelines for decision-making, voting, ownership transfer, and more. Our experienced business lawyers can draft, review, or update your unanimous shareholder agreement, ensuring your corporation has a strong foundation and well-defined governance practices.

Lease Reviews for Landlords or Tenants

Whether you own commercial real estate or lease space for your business operations, our legal team can review, draft, or negotiate your lease agreements to protect your interests.

As lawyers who handle litigation, we are also equipped to represent you in court if real estate or commercial disputes escalate.
