Corporate by-law drafting

The fee is $500 plus 13% HST ($565.00 in all) for the work described on this page. Court, tribunal or government fees and other disbursements are extra. We confirm the scope and the fee in a written retainer agreement before any work starts.

You book a time for your intake call, then save a card on Stripe's secure page. Nothing is charged today: the card is only charged later, for an invoice for work already done, as your retainer agreement sets out. A licensed paralegal confirms the details, checks for conflicts of interest and, if we can act for you, sends the retainer agreement. Fees paid before the work is done are held in our trust account.

Licensed paralegals may provide only the legal services the Law Society of Ontario permits, and drafting or reviewing a business agreement that is not part of a court or tribunal case is usually outside them. When it is, we tell you and can refer you to a lawyer.

Often how decisions are made, what happens if an owner leaves, dies or wants to sell, and how disputes are handled.

Ontario's franchise law requires the franchisor to give you a disclosure document at least 14 days before you sign or pay anything, so any review needs to happen within that window.
