Business decisions often come with legal questions. How should ownership be divided? What are you agreeing to sign? What needs updating as the company grows? A corporate lawyer in Edmonton at Nexus Legal helps you understand your options and address the legal details before moving forward.
You may be incorporating your first company, buying an established business or working through a disagreement with another shareholder. We start by understanding your business, the people involved and what you want to achieve.
Our team explains the documents, obligations and risks relevant to your situation. From individual transactions to ongoing corporate records, we help you decide what needs attention now and what to plan for next.

Look beyond the amount being borrowed to understand the commitments involved. We review loan terms, security documents and personal guarantees, explaining the obligations of the company and anyone guaranteeing the debt. Where appropriate, we negotiate proposed changes with the lender.

Changes in ownership or business plans may call for a different corporate structure. We advise on reorganizations, share arrangements and asset transfers, explain the legal steps involved, and prepare documents to put the agreed changes into effect.

Give your company clear rules for making and recording decisions. We draft and review bylaws covering matters such as meetings, officer roles and internal procedures, with attention to how your corporation is structured and the legal requirements that apply.

Set expectations between owners before disagreements arise. We draft and negotiate shareholder agreements covering decision-making, share transfers, departures and dispute procedures. Each owner can then understand the proposed arrangements and consider how they affect their interests.

When owners disagree, get advice on your position before responding. We examine the company’s records, agreements and circumstances, explain your options, and help you pursue an appropriate resolution while considering the effect on ongoing business operations.
Learn MoreSome decisions deserve legal attention before plans become commitments. A corporate business lawyer can help you work through questions like these.
How much control will the new shareholder have, and which decisions will require agreement? Consider more than the percentage of shares being offered. Voting rights, financial contributions and departure arrangements should be discussed before the ownership change is completed.
Are you being asked to take personal responsibility for a company obligation? Before signing, understand what the guarantee covers, whether it has limits and how it can end. We can review the wording and explain the commitment you would be making.
An offer can contain more than a proposed price. Conditions, deposits, deadlines and other terms may affect your options. Have the document reviewed before accepting it so you understand its legal effect and what still needs to be negotiated.
Missing resolutions or inconsistent share records may come to light when a lender, buyer or new shareholder requests documents. Addressing gaps early gives you time to understand what is missing and what steps may be needed to update the records.
A departing owner can raise questions about share value, payment terms and who will take over their responsibilities. Reviewing the existing agreements early helps you understand the process, identify unresolved issues and discuss a workable transition.
