Legal Topics
Canada Legal Guidance focuses on delivering guidance from experienced legal professionals who provide clear and actionable information during the face-to-face video call with you.
Business law
Business law guidance assists new and existing business owners with guidance in respect of all aspects of running a business including contracts, corporate structures, and compliance. We can provide guidance on entity formation, operational agreements, resolving disputes, partnerships and operational business issues. Whether you’re starting a new venture or need advice on regulatory compliance, we provide accessible legal guidance to help your business thrive.
Business sales or purchases
Buying or selling a business involves complex legal and financial considerations which almost always require that you engage professional advisors including legal counsel to represent you. However, at Canada Legal Guidance, we can help guide you through the steps of a transaction, discuss various aspects of a transaction that will be relevant or material to you, provide guidance in respect of the terms of applicable agreements or otherwise provide guidance to help protect your interests. Our guidance can help in creating a smooth transition while mitigating potential risks during business acquisitions or sales.
Cease and desist letters
A cease and desist letter is a formal demand to stop illegal or harmful activity, such as intellectual property infringement or contract violations. Although we do not help draft cease and desist letters since such activities require more than 30 minutes of talk and will need legal representation, we can help identify whether a cease and desist letter is appropriate in the circumstance or what the contents of such a letter should include.
Contract law
Contracts form the backbone of business and personal transactions. Although we do not help draft contracts since such activities require more than 30 minutes of talk and will need legal representation, we can assist at a high-level in respect of contracting concerns, contract disputes, reviewing certain terms or identifying the right path that should be deployed to ensure a binding agreement between two parties.
Criminal law – coming soon
Criminal law addresses offenses against individuals or society. We aim to help provide legal guidance or information in the event that you are subject to a criminal charge or need to navigate the criminal justice system including understanding charges, and exploring defense options. Our goal is to help support you with clarity and professionalism during challenging times.
Please note that Canada Legal Guidance is not yet offering legal guidance in the field of criminal law but aspires to do so in the near future.
Disputes about loans/debts
Disputes about loans or debts can arise between individuals or businesses. We can provide legal guidance to help you resolve issues involving unpaid loans, creditor disputes, or loan agreement enforcement. We can also help you identify the next steps to take if there has been no co-operation on the other side from a debtor or a creditor.
Employment
Employment law governs the relationship between employers and employees and sometimes the relationship between contractors and principals. We can provide legal guidance or information in respect of concerns relating to workplace issues such as wrongful termination, constructive dismissal, severance payment obligations and employment contracts. Our insights can help to ensure that both parties understand their rights and obligations.
Family law – coming soon
Family law covers sensitive matters like separation and pre-nuptial agreements, divorce, child custody, and support. We aim to provide clear, compassionate guidance to help you navigate such an emotional legal challenge. Our focus would be to help provide information to equip you to obtain a resolution that prioritizes the family’s well-being.

Franchisors/Franchisees
Franchise law involves creating, selling, or operating a franchise or governs the relationship between franchisors and franchisees and sometimes licensors and licensees. We assist franchisors and franchisees in better understanding their obligations in the context of franchise law dynamics including disclosure obligations, franchise agreement terms and rescission rights. Our guidance can help simply the complexity around franchising and/or being a franchisee.
Immigration law – coming soon
Immigration law covers visas, permanent residency, and citizenship applications. We aim to help guide you through Canada’s immigration system which may include offering assistance in understanding your eligibility to enter, visit, work or become a permanent resident of Canada and/or with applications and addressing potential challenges. We aim to help you achieve your immigration goals.

Lease agreements
Lease agreements outline the terms of renting property for residential or commercial use. Although we do not help draft or negotiate lease agreements, we can assist at a high-level in reviewing certain terms or commenting on certain disputes around a lease agreement.
Personal injury – coming soon
Personal injury law involves seeking compensation for injuries caused by negligence or intentional torts such as battery or assault. We can help you in understanding your rights, discussing strategies in negotiating a settlement and/or the process in pursuing a claim. Our support can help you obtain fair treatment during the recovery process.

Small claims litigation (i.e. <$100,000 in value)
Small claims litigation relates to disputes involving amounts under $100,000. We can help identify strategies in resolving the dispute and/or options for recourse in the event that a negotiated settlement is not available. We can also help guide you through court procedures and aspire to help you achieve cost-effective resolutions without excessive legal fees which are sometimes not possible in a relatively low value litigation file.
Trademarking
Trademark law protects your brand identity, such as names, logos, and slogans. We can help identify how you would protect your brand through trademarks, the process involved in trademarking and the application and process that would be undertaken for a trademark with the Canadian Intellectual Property Office.
