Types of Business Law 

Business law is much more sophisticated than you may expect. There are many branches of business law your business may require, and we provide consultations, assistance, guidance and representation for an array of unique requirements. 

We offer a variety of business law services to ensure your company gets the help and assistance it needs. Verhaeghe Law is proud to provide numerous business law-related services, as this allows us to help everyone in your company and guarantees that your business can continue to obtain crucial growth whether large or small. 

Corporate Law 

Our corporate law service is the very best in Alberta, and it is part of what has made Verhaeghe Law such a sought-after law firm since our inception. We understand everything there is to know about corporate law, and this puts us in a superb position to help your company with an array of business needs. 

We can assist you with starting a business or business restructuring, among an array of others. These services enable you to seamlessly adjust your business without risking any mistakes. 

Adjusting your business can conjure up roadblocks, though, and this is why proper support and guidance from a qualified corporate lawyer is crucial. They can guide you through numerous issues, clarify any misunderstandings, and review contracts that help you get the best deal possible while also ensuring you are not breaching any guidelines. Should you require your company to be dissolved, we can guide you in the right direction for this, also. 

Commercial Law 

Commercial law is similar to corporate law, but it primarily refers to your business and its profits, rather than legal contracts or other elements of the business. By working with expert commercial lawyers, you can protect the most crucial elements of your business and ensure lasting success for your company. 

These elements include Intellectual Property, especially for creative industries. If you realize that someone has stolen your business idea even after registering it with the relevant authorities, we can assist in retrieving any financial losses and recouping damages owed that may have come as a result of having your IP stolen. 

We offer a dependable and experienced commercial law service that can assist with other elements that you may require. These include everything from commerce to merchandising to sales to trade. Whatever type of commercial representation you require, we can help you solve problems and reach conclusions or solutions that benefit you. 

Labour and Employment Law

Every business hopes that there are no issues between the company and its employees, managers, and unions. However, this is not always the case, and no matter how well your company endeavours to treat employees, some issues are unavoidable in specific circumstances. 

The last thing that many companies want or need is to face litigation. Therefore, our labour and employment law experts can help protect your business from facing this litigation and strive to mediate any conflicts that have arisen at the workplace. These issues could be between employee and company, management and company, or there may even be union involvement. 

If you are facing litigation and want to resolve any employee or labour dissatisfaction, Verhaeghe Law and our corporate law experts can offer crucial advice that will enable everyone to come to a solution that benefits everybody involved and will hopefully help to put the issuer behind you. 

Commercial Real Estate

Although many businesses do much of their business online in the modern world, nothing beats a physical location for customers to see, touch, feel, and experience your products. This is why commercial real estate is such a crucial element of a successful business. 

You need to identify the best location for your business to operate out of. Whether you are a retail store, restaurant, or run an office, commercial real estate can improve your profits and help to establish your small business as a legitimate entity. 

It is important to consult experts such as Verhaeghe Law when determining the best location for your business. We can offer crucial advice pertaining to all of your questions regarding commercial real estate to ensure you understand the best processes for purchasing or leasing office space or retail and manufacturing properties. 

Our commercial real estate services include 

• Due diligence
• Contract negotiation
• Financing

Immigration Law

As the world grows both larger and smaller, there are opportunities for everybody to achieve their entrepreneurial dreams. Many companies employ immigrants, but they must ensure that they go through the correct legal channels to avoid sanctions. 

Verhaeghe Law can help your business sponsor and support candidates from overseas who have successfully applied to work for your business. We can provide advice for work visas and make the process as comfortable and straightforward as possible. 

Immigration can be a tricky and often sensitive subject on the surface, so we strive to provide thorough advice to keep everyone in the loop from start to finish. This ensures that nobody remains in the dark, and you can make preparations for any eventuality.
