Corporate Legal Support for Calgary, Alberta Businesses

Good corporate law is usually most useful before any problem arises. A company might require assistance with its formation, governing structure, financing, shareholder agreements, contracts, observance of regulatory requirements, expansion, a purchase or sale, or a change of ownership; each of these decisions can have an impact on tax planning, liability, its employees, access to capital, and the long-term value of the business.

We provide corporate clients, entrepreneurs, investors, and small businesses with a wide range of corporate assistance and serve clients across industries such as technology, professional services, hospitality, construction, commercial real estate, and energy.

Good advice should make the next decision easier, not introduce yet another level of complexity into a business that already has a great many elements.

It may entail setting up a new company correctly from the very beginning, or reforming a system that no longer suits the situation. Whenever businesses grow, attract investors, open new offices, enter new markets, or deal with both domestic and international clients, last year’s legal framework may well be insufficient.

Why Calgary Trusts Taurus Law Business Lawyers

Business owners don’t need a lesson in the law; they need practical advice.

Taurus Law focuses on client service by working closely with the people who make the decisions. We take the time to understand the company, its commercial objectives, the interests involved, and the desired outcome for the client.

Our lawyers have a thorough knowledge of business disputes and transactions and extensive experience in related fields. This is important because corporate work is seldom carried out in isolation. A transaction can involve employment law, corporate finance, real estate, intellectual property, or dispute resolution. Regulatory problems might show up halfway through a deal. Also, a contract can affect employees in ways that no one spotted at the start.

Our approach is based on responsive communication, practical solutions, and outstanding service. Since we have offices in Alberta, Taurus Law is dedicated to helping clients protect their value as they make informed decisions.

Our Corporate Law and Commercial Law Services

We can help with the process of incorporating and organizing a company, as well as matters relating to governance, contracts, corporate finance, restructuring, business acquisitions and disposals, shareholder arrangements, employment issues, regulatory compliance, and other commercial matters.

When a different area of practice becomes relevant, our wider range of resources enables us to help clients address the issue without losing sight of the commercial objective.

Shareholder and Partnership, and Joint-Venture Agreements

Clear agreements can avoid costly uncertainty in the future; we provide assistance with shareholder agreements, partnership arrangements, joint ventures, ownership rights, decision-making rules, exit mechanisms, and dispute resolution.

If a disagreement is already underway, our lawyers specializing in shareholder and partner disputes can evaluate the options and help protect your interests.

Mergers, Acquisitions, and Business Dispositions

Getting the price right is not enough when buying or selling a business; the structure, due diligence, liabilities, financing, employees, contracts, and regulatory issues must all be taken into account.

We provide assistance with acquisitions, disposals, and other transactions. For more information on our business acquisitions practice, please see further.

Commercial Contracts and Business Law Documentation

Contracts should be drawn up to give clarity and avoid future disagreements.

We help clients with commercial agreements, corporate records, service contracts, documentation for purchases and sales, and other business documents; should the deal eventually turn into a dispute, our contractual dispute lawyers can advise on the next steps.

Intellectual Property and Licensing

For most modern businesses, value lies in ideas, brands, software, content, systems, and technology.

We can help with licensing and commercial arrangements to protect those assets; moreover, if intellectual property rights are in dispute, clients may consider Taurus Law’s intellectual property litigation practice.

Dispute Prevention and Commercial Litigation Readiness

Carefully drawn contracts, along with proper governance, documentation, and communication, can help to reduce risk before positions become fixed. When conflict is already emerging, obtaining legal advice early can increase one’s leverage and help maintain available options.

Taurus Law can help businesses prepare for negotiations, dispute resolution, or litigation as needed. See our commercial litigation practice for more information.
