Legal Services for Individuals

Retaining a lawyer does not need to be an intimidating experience. Whether you are buying or selling a house, making a will or a power of attorney or dealing with a family member’s estate, your lawyer can help to make the process go smoothly and provide you with advice. The articles on my web-site outline some of the issues you will need to consider and provide you with information about your legal obligations.

Legal Services for Business

Operating a small or medium business is very challenging. Getting proper legal and accounting advice from the beginning can help you avoid serious mistakes when you set it up. Virtually everything you do in the course of operating the business, whether it is leasing space, buying property and equipment, hiring staff, ordering supplies or selling your goods and services, involves legal contracts and relationships. When you are investing your life savings and taking on significant liabilities in order to purchase or set up a new business, trying to save on legal fees by doing it yourself may be very costly in the long run. This section of my web-site provides information on some of the legal issues you will encounter in establishing and operating a business.

Legal Services for Non-Profits

Providing leadership for a non-profit organization such as a registered charity, church or not-for-profit corporation can be challenging. Often leadership is provided by volunteers, with limited time and, sometimes, limited expertise. As well, financial resources are often very limited and there is a reluctance to spend money on legal fees. However, fixing problems resulting from errors or omissions will likely be a lot more expensive than the costs of getting proper structures and procedures in place from the beginning.
