Corporate Commercial Law

The top five reasons you’re going to love working with us:

1. We know the real world of business.
2. When you need us, we’re always there. Business doesn’t stop at 5 o’clock and neither do we.
3. We make the complex clear and understandable, because life is complicated enough.
4. Our big-firm capabilities come in a more practical package. We get the job done in the most efficient and cost-effective way possible.
5. We’re a tight-knit, fun, and creative team, because we enjoy working with our clients and each other.

These five reasons are just the beginning.

Our experience, business knowledge, and hard-working attitude never sacrifices competence or quality. Our focus is on our clients’ success, the necessary steps to hit goals, and the obstacles to overcome along the way.

When you need us, we’re there.

When you work with McLennan Ross, you get hands-on and responsive service from our team of legal professionals, as well as some of the best support staff in the business. Every single person in our office is focused and prepared to do what it takes to provide the exceptional service our clients deserve. When we ask who can handle an urgent matter, there’s never a shortage of hands in the air.

Offering a more personal and attentive relationship, we take the time and make the effort to understand every client, their business, and the background behind their issues. No matter the size or complexity of a situation, we never overwhelm our clients with a parade of lawyers. Our combination of skill, experience, and size keeps our teams small and agile, while our strategic use of paralegals, litigation support, e-discovery, and document imaging technology allow us to be more cost-effective than the bigger firms.

When we get a job, we get things done.

Our valued clients range from start-ups to large multinationals and everything in between. We assist private, owner-operated businesses, publicly owned companies, not-for-profit organizations, as well as aboriginal groups and all levels of governments.

We offer experience that covers a diverse range of industries, including manufacturing, engineering, energy, utilities, construction, real estate, finance, banking, resource and land development, hospitality, arts and culture, food processing, and retail. Businesspeople from all sectors rely on us because we have the experience necessary to know what they need.

Keeping it simple and strategic.

Always ready to jump in and help each other out, the Corporate Commercial team works closely with other lawyers in the firm, drawing on the skills and experience of lawyers in the areas of tax, competition, finance, securities, intellectual property and technology, regulatory, labour and employment, pension and benefits, commercial real estate, and litigation. 

Our clients turn to us for advice on corporate agreements, including the purchase, sale, and financing of businesses. We advise on complicated public and private offerings, compliance work, debt and equity financing, real estate syndications, and institutional loans. We assist with day-to-day commercial transactions, including contract drafting and interpretation, commercial leasing matters, procurement and supply chain, and the purchase, sale, and lease of equipment.

Our lawyers work closely with clients on the acquisition, financing, development, leasing, and construction of residential and commercial properties, as well as the creation, acquisition, management, growth, expansion, reorganization, sale, and wind-up of private corporations, public companies, joint ventures, and limited partnerships of all types and sizes. We are experienced in the prosecution of trademark applications and advise on protection of trademark assets and copyright matters, while our team of taxation lawyers get in front of taxation issues arising in commercial transactions.
