Our process involves detailed review of contractual terms, negotiation of key provisions to align with business objectives and risk mitigation, followed by structured execution and archiving procedures.
Can you help develop internal governance policies?
We begin with a detailed intake to understand your corporate structure and objectives, then guide you through the preparation and filing of incorporation documents, drafting of customized bylaws and client agreements, and registration with the appropriate provincial or federal authorities.

How are compliance risks identified and managed?
Our risk assessment begins with a comprehensive review of your operations and regulatory environment. We map out key risk areas, recommend practical controls, and set up monitoring mechanisms. Regular status reports ensure that emerging issues are addressed before they escalate.

What is included in your corporate due diligence service?
Our due diligence covers a thorough review of corporate records, organizational charts, past filings, contracts, client actions and board minutes. We identify any gaps or inconsistencies and provide a clear report with recommended remedial steps.
How often should a company review its bylaws and policies?
We recommend a formal review cycle every 18 to 24 months, or sooner when there are significant changes in legislation, corporate structure or senior leadership. Regular reviews keep your governance documents aligned with best practices and evolving legal requirements.
