• the extra-provincial registration of your company, either into or out of B.C.
• ensuring compliance with the requirements of the Registrar of Companies
• setting up a professional corporation – we have extensive experience with incorporating medical practitioners, dentists, pharmacists, engineers, geoscientists, architects, accountants, lawyers and realtors, and working with the relevant professional governing bodies
• corporate amalgamations, wind-ups and restorations
• the drafting of a shareholders’ agreement or partnership agreement
• resolving shareholders or partners disputes

Our corporate department usually has on hand an inventory of British Columbia shelf companies.  Contact us if you require a shelf corporation for your business needs.
If a company is not suitable for your business needs, we can advise you on alternative business vehicles, including sole proprietorships, partnerships, limited partnerships, limited liability partnerships, joint ventures and co-ownership arrangements, and set up the appropriate structure/entity for you. We also provide advice to many not-for-profit entities in our communities.
