Many church activities create legal obligations. Hiring staff, hiring a contractor to do work on your property, allowing other organizations to use space in your church building and buying and selling property all involve entering into contracts.
As registered charities, churches must comply with the many federal and provincial rules that apply to charities and those who manage their affairs. They may also be subject to the rules, regulations, policies and procedures of their denomination. Finding your way through the regulatory framework can feel like walking through a maze or a minefield. As a lawyer with experience in these areas I can help you avoid expensive mistakes.
