Business Formation
We offer sound advice on establishing business ventures in a variety of forms, including sole proprietorships, partnerships, for-profit corporations, not-for-profit corporations and joint ventures. We can act as your registered office (or registered attorney for extra-provincial corporations) and attend to all corporate filings on your behalf in any jurisdiction in Canada.

Corporate Finance
Our lawyers can assist your business in raising investment capital through various prospectus-filing exemptions available to businesses in Canada, and attend to all regulatory filings associated with the use of these exemptions.

Corporate Governance
Sharek&Co. can advise your business on all aspects of corporate governance, including statutory requirements for directors and their legal and fiduciary obligations. We can assist with the preparation of corporate bylaws and with unanimous shareholder agreements, commonly used by closely held corporations.

Mergers & Acquisitions
Whether your business is in an expansion phase or is consolidating, we can assist with any transaction involving either the acquisition of a business interest (share purchase or asset purchase), or the disposition of assets or shares.

Real Estate Financing
We offer a full range of services to real estate developers, including land acquisition, subdivision and development matters, mezzanine financing, construction financing, mortgage syndication, condominium registration and subsequent sales of developed property.

Contract Drafting and Analysis
All business transactions require some form of contract to help parties understand their legal obligations. We can assist in both contract drafting and in reviewing contracts provided by other parties.
