Why Consult a Commercial Lawyer for Corporate Transactions

Corporate clients typically retain a commercial lawyer before making or accepting an offer to buy or sell a business, or to negotiate on their behalf. After an offer has been made or accepted “solicitor approval” is included as a condition of any such agreement.

Many businesses require commercial financing to complete capital projects, acquire real property, or simply to maintain operations. Whether your business is taking out a loan, or refinancing an existing one, we work with you and your commercial lender to secure the funds your business requires to succeed and grow, having done so for countless clients already.

Why consult a commercial lawyer for a real estate transaction

Buying or selling commercial real estate brings with it unique issues. This often requires extensive due diligence, complicated financing and interaction with a lawyer acting on the other side of the transaction.

When developing an offer to purchase or sell, an experienced commercial lawyer will ensure its terms meet your objectives, undertake various searches of tax, title, zoning and permitted use and liaise with the other party’s lawyer to ensure any offer closes as intended.

If you are financing a part of the purchase or are needing to discharge an existing mortgage as part of the sale, a Commercial Lawyer can prepare the legal documents to give effect to the transaction. This includes the mortgage documents if applicable and working with your lender to ensure the proper financing is in place.
