Create a Corporation with a Structure
Sometimes you create a corporation for one purpose, then it takes on additional roles beyond the initial purpose. Other times you create multiple corporations, without ever considering the best structure for those corporations.
There is no one size fits all response for a Corporate Reorganization. Your situation may require a Section 85 rollover to transfer an asset from one entity to another, a Section 86 Capital Reorganization (estate freeze) to help bring in new investors for nominal consideration, or butterfly transaction, or even a combination of all 3.
Regardless of what is needed, the process always starts the same, with a consultation with one of our trained lawyers to go over the current structure, and your goals. Sometimes what needs to be done is immediately apparent, and other times we develop long tax plans that carefully consider all your options.

Working with us
Every engagement begins with a tax-aware review of your goals. We pair the corporate work — incorporations, agreements, transactions — with the tax planning that lets the structure deliver value over the long term. Your consultation is confidential, and once we are retained, communications are protected by solicitor–client privilege.
We work on fixed-fee quotes for most corporate matters so you know the cost up front.
Frequently asked questions
Why use a tax lawyer for a corporate matter instead of a corporate lawyer?
Most incorporations, sales, and reorganizations have tax consequences worth more than the legal fees. A tax-aware lawyer drafts the share structure, the rollover, and the agreement with the after-tax outcome in mind — not just the corporate-law mechanics.
Do you work with my existing accountant?
Yes — most corporate engagements involve close coordination with the client's accountant for valuation, rollovers, T2057 filings, and post-closing compliance. We treat your accountant as part of the team.
How are corporate engagements priced?
Most matters — incorporations, shareholder agreements, share sales, simple reorganizations — are quoted on a fixed-fee basis after we understand scope. Complex transactions and litigation are typically billed hourly with a budget cap.
