Head:
Civil Litigation
is that area of law which deals with competing claims among
individuals. It’s often referred to as "private
law". That is to say, this area of the law regulates how private
disputes between individuals are to be resolved. Private law includes claims
for loss, damage or injury in all fields other than administrative law
(Transport Board, C.R.T.C. and all other Boards), public law (Employment
Insurance, Welfare laws, Election laws, etc…) and criminal or quasi
criminal law (Highway Traffic Act, Motorized Snowmobile Act, Occupational
Health and Welfare Legislation). Civil law
includes commercial and contract claims, insurance claims, personal injury
claims, family law claims, divorce, property claims, wills and estate claims,
debt collection, and others… Because it is a very wide area of
practice, it is usually divided into sub-categories such as: family law,
insurance law, commercial law, and others… However, there are basic
matters of procedure which apply to the entire field of civil litigation. See
the specific sub-category for information relating to your type of claim.
Head:
Corporate
Commercial law encompasses a broad spectrum of relationships. Commercial law
relates to business carried on for profit. Business may be conducted by
corporations or by individuals, either alone or in partnership. Virtually all
areas of law have an impact on business, but the most common areas are those
relating to security agreements, contracts, employment, taxation, intellectual
property, and licensing. Partnership
agreements are formal contracts by which participants in a business agree to
manage their affairs, divide profits and bear losses, and add or withdraw
participants. As an alternative, business corporations may form the vehicle
through which business is conducted. The Articles of Incorporation and
By-laws can be varied to address the needs of specific shareholders.
Unanimous shareholder agreements are similar, in many respects, to
partnership agreements within a corporate setting, generally to settle the
manner in which the corporation will be run, often with clauses prohibiting
some dealings in shares, and others providing for financing, board
representation, indemnification, conduct of business, retirement and withdrawal
with or without a "shotgun" clause or right of first refusal,
audit, and general matters. Corporations can
be formed for various purposes under acts of Parliament or the Legislature.
While the majority of corporations are created to carry on business for
profit; some are formed to operate for charitable or non-profit purposes;
others are intended to do no more than provide a structure within which the
participants can conduct their affairs. Clients’ present and future
needs must be determined through focussed consultation and corporate
structure must be built to suit those needs. The Corporate
Commercial team at Conroy Trebb Scott Hurtubise LLP is available to fully
satisfy all of your requirements for legal representation in this field. This
team is comprised of several solicitors with years of experience in
incorporation of Companies, amalgamation and mergers of businesses and
