Business law is a broad heading, but it reflects our basic philosophy: Effective solutions must be achieved in an integrated fashion, not as separate areas of law.

We provide the basic legal services you would expect -- corporate registrations, corporate planning, commercial financing, purchase and sales of businesses and tax law. The latter includes all types of tax advice, including income tax and GST. Craig Zawada is a graduate of the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants’ In-Depth Tax Course. Derrek Fahl has extensive experience with business succession planning as well as public and private financing arrangements.

Business law is of growing importance to the province’s aboriginal people. We can provide the legal expertise needed by our aboriginal clients in all aspects of corporate commercial law including joint venture agreements and contract negotiations. Call Craig or Derrek to help you with these business matters.

We have notable strengths in new and emerging areas. Craig provides intellectual property advice in many disciplines, including ag-biotech, computer law, licensing, trade marks, and trade secret law.

Environmental issues will also affect your business. Whether you are concerned about lender or director liability, environmental audits or meeting legislative requirements, Craig, Gary Meschishnick, and Colin Clackson have the experience to help you. We assist businesses in creating environmental management systems, and resolving contamination issues.
