Corporate Law

Whether a new or growing entity, a local business or professional practice, Ratcliff's can help you structure and make decisions that promote growth of your business toward a strong future.

We advise clients on legal incorporation, taxes, securities, employment issues, trade secret, unfair competition and other business operations concerns.

With the recent adoption of the BC Business Corporations Act (2004), replacing the BC Company Act , organizations require guidance in complying with the many laws that govern business operations.

You must maintain specified records and file certain reports each year with the B.C. Registrar of Companies. As Ratcliff is the "office of record" for over 800 companies, we can take care of those requirements for you for only a small annual fee.

We'll meet your needs in the following business areas:

• Provincial and Federal Incorporations
• Shareholder and Option Agreements
• Amalgamations
• Reorganization of Capital
• Purchase and Sale of Assets and Shares
• Commercial Contracts
• Employee Matters
• Business Disputes
• Franchises
• Partnerships and Limited Partnerships
• Societies, Charities and Not for Profit Entities
• Privacy Issues
• Maintenance of registered and records offices and updating records
• Structuring business opportunities
• Trademarks Copyright
• Intellectual property
