If you are buying a business in Markham, or signing the lease and deal documents that come with one, the sequence from letter of intent to closing is work we run constantly. Markham calls itself Canada's high-tech capital with reason, hosting hundreds of corporate head offices and one of the country's densest technology clusters, and businesses here change hands with real value attached, which is exactly the work Markham clients have brought us. We are a business and franchise law firm serving Markham and the Greater Toronto Area, and everything on this page connects your situation to the lawyer-built resource that covers it in depth.
One honest note before you read on. We are not a general practice that dabbles in business law. Business, corporate, franchise, and technology law is all we do, and we have done it for real Markham businesses whose matters, anonymized, appear throughout this page.
| Your situation | Start here |
|---|---|
| Buying a business or a franchise location | Buy a Business or Franchise Resales |
| Selling your business | Sell a Business |
| Reviewing a franchise agreement or FDD before signing | Franchise Agreement & FDD Review |
| A dispute between owners, or no shareholders agreement yet | Shareholder Disputes / Shareholders Agreements |
| Minute book missing, incomplete, or years behind | Corporate Maintenance & Minute Books |
| Starting a new corporation | Company Formation & Incorporation |
| Signing or renewing a commercial lease | Commercial Leasing |
| Contracts your business runs on, or an agreement you were handed | Commercial Contracts or NDA & Confidentiality |
| SaaS, platform, or e-commerce documents | Terms of Service & Privacy Policy |
| Merging or combining corporations | Mergers & Acquisitions or Amalgamations |
The gap between a general practitioner and a business-law firm shows up in the details of your specific matter. We work with your accountant where the structure serves a tax plan, we quote in writing before you commit, and we tell you clearly when a problem is not worth the legal spend, because that honesty is what brings clients back with their next matter.

I called multiple firms for initial consultation. I wanted to make sure I picked someone who would not only treat me as a client, but someone who would understand the situation I am in. Sukhi Hansra was honest, straight forward and very supportive from day one. He is very knowledgeable - always had an answer and the best suggestions.

Most owners deal with the legal side only after something goes wrong. By that time, you could spend tens of thousands of dollars unwinding what a quick conversation could have prevented. It doesn’t have to be that way if you have the right lawyer in your corner!
