Business Law

Business Lawyer for companies, entrepreneurs and investors

DJC Law provides practical legal advice throughout the life of a business. From choosing the right structure and negotiating commercial agreements to raising capital, reorganizing, or completing a purchase or sale, we help clients make informed decisions while protecting their legal and commercial interests.

Business Venture Structuring and Formation

Starting with the right legal structure can reduce risk and support future growth. DJC Law assists with Ontario and federal incorporations, corporate organization, share structures, partnership arrangements, and other foundational matters tailored to your business objectives.

Shareholders', Partnerships and Joint Venture Agreements

Clear agreements establish how a business relationship will operate and help reduce uncertainty when circumstances change. DJC Law prepares and reviews shareholders’ agreements, partnership agreements, and joint venture agreements covering ownership, management responsibilities, decision-making, financing, profit distributions, transfers, departures, and dispute resolution.

Buying or Selling a Business

A business acquisition or sale requires careful planning, due diligence, and documentation. DJC Law advises purchasers and sellers on share and asset transactions, letters of intent, purchase agreements, closing conditions, financing, and post-closing obligations.

Business Financing

We represent businesses, investors, borrowers, and private lenders in debt and equity financing transactions. Our services include reviewing and negotiating loan documents, security agreements, subscription arrangements, shareholder investments, and related closing documents.

Corporate Reorganizations

As a business evolves, its legal structure may need to change with it. DJC Law assists with share exchanges, amalgamations, rollovers, ownership changes, and other corporate reorganizations, working alongside your accounting and tax advisors to implement the chosen structure.

Corporate Governance and Ongoing Support

Good corporate governance helps protect the business and the people behind it. We advise on directors’ and officers’ responsibilities, corporate approvals, annual maintenance, minute book matters, shareholder decisions, and compliance throughout the corporate lifecycle.

Commercial Contracts

Your contracts should clearly reflect the deal you intend to make. DJC Law drafts, reviews, and negotiates commercial agreements, including service agreements, supplier and distribution contracts, licensing arrangements, confidentiality agreements, and other documents used in day-to-day operations.
