Incorporation Services
We handle federal and Ontario incorporations, including professional corporations and corporations with custom share structures. From name searches (NUANS) and Articles of Incorporation to organizational resolutions and the setup of initial minute books, we take care of every step with accuracy and care. We also support business name registrations under the Ontario Business Names Act, extra-provincial registrations for out-of-province entities, and general or limited partnership registrations. Our incorporation services ensure your client's entity is properly formed, fully documented, and legally compliant from the outset.
Corporate Amendments
We prepare and file Articles of Amendment under the CBCA or OBCA for changes such as corporate name, share structure, or business restrictions. In addition, we handle changes to directors, officers, and registered office addresses by preparing resolutions, filing Notices of Change with the appropriate registry, and updating all relevant registers and ledgers. Our goal is to ensure every change is accurately reflected in both the public records and internal corporate documentation, preserving the integrity of the minute book and avoiding compliance issues.
Amalgamations
We assist with both short-form and long-form amalgamations, preparing the required Articles of Amalgamation, supporting resolutions, share exchanges, and any related filings. Our services include minute book consolidation and updating corporate records to reflect the newly amalgamated entity. Whether the amalgamation is part of a tax strategy or internal reorganization, we ensure the process is handled efficiently and in full compliance with the applicable corporate legislation..
Continuances (Import/Export)
We coordinate continuances under the CBCA or OBCA when corporations transfer jurisdiction into or out of Ontario or Canada. Our support includes drafting Articles of Continuance, obtaining necessary approvals, and ensuring proper filings with federal or provincial registries. We also update the minute book to reflect the change in jurisdiction, so your client's corporate continuity is seamless and legally compliant.
Minute Book Maintenance
We provide comprehensive support for maintaining corporate records to keep your clients in good standing year-round. Our services include the preparation of annual shareholder and director resolutions, updating changes to directors, officers, or registered office addresses, business name renewals, and keeping share registers, ledgers, and statutory records current. We also assist with historical corrections and minute book cleanup to help restore order to neglected or incomplete corporate records.
Share Transactions & Reorganizations
We assist with a wide range of share transactions including issuances, transfers, redemptions, and cancellations. We also support complex tax-driven reorganizations such as estate freezes, rollovers, and share exchanges. Our work includes preparing share certificates, registers, ledgers, and all necessary resolutions and agreements to document the transactions clearly and in compliance with CBCA or OBCA requirements. We ensure every corporate restructuring is professionally documented and legally sound.
Purchase & Sale of Shares or Assets
We provide reliable legal support for share and asset purchase transactions, including due diligence, closing agenda preparation, and documentation. We assist with the drafting of resolutions, share transfer registers, officer certificates, and corporate authorizations, as well as updating minute books post-closing. Whether your client is buying or selling, we help facilitate a smooth transaction with meticulous attention to legal detail and documentation.
Corporate Searches & Due Diligence
We conduct and summarize a wide range of corporate searches to support transactions, litigation, or internal reviews. These include NUANS reports, corporate profiles, Certificates of Status, PPSA searches, bankruptcy and litigation checks, and minute book reviews. We provide practical, concise summaries to help legal teams assess risk and confirm standing before proceeding with closings or issuing opinions.
Dissolutions & Wind-Ups
We prepare the full set of documents required for voluntary corporate dissolution under CBCA or OBCA, including shareholder and director resolutions, Articles of Dissolution, and final updates to the corporate registers. We ensure all property is properly distributed and liabilities discharged before closing the corporate file. When winding up a corporation, we make sure the legal process is clear, clean, and compliant.
