Not every dispute starts in a courtroom, but many can end up there without the right guidance.

If a situation is escalating, early legal advice can help clarify your options, protect your position, and potentially resolve the issue before it becomes more complex.

Our litigation team is here to support you at every stage.

Legal Quick Take: Not all agreements need to be in writing, but relying on a handshake can still put you at risk.

In Ontario, verbal agreements can be legally binding in many situations, but they’re often difficult to prove if a dispute arises. Without clear documentation, details like payment terms, timelines, and responsibilities can quickly become points of conflict.

When in doubt, putting agreements in writing helps protect all parties and avoids unnecessary uncertainty down the road.

Corporate transparency is no longer optional. New requirements regarding "beneficial ownership" mean that private corporations in Ontario must maintain more detailed records of who ultimately controls the company.

These rules are designed to prevent financial misuse, but they add a new layer of administrative burden for small and medium-sized business owners. If you haven't updated your corporate records to reflect these transparency standards, now is the time to act. We help Ottawa entrepreneurs stay compliant so they can focus on growth.

Managing project cash flow just changed. The 2026 amendments to the Construction Act have introduced a mandatory annual release of holdbacks for many multi-year projects.

This is a significant shift from the previous optional framework. Owners now have strict timelines for publishing notices of release, and contractors must ensure these funds flow down to subcontractors within 14 days.

Understanding these new "mandatory" triggers is essential for your 2026 financial planning.

Is your job site heart-safe and compliant?

As of January 1, construction projects expected to last three months or more with at least 20 workers must now have an AED on-site.

This is not just a safety best practice; it is a new legal requirement under the Occupational Health and Safety Act. Beyond the equipment itself, constructors must also manage specific signage, training, and maintenance records.

Our team helps Ottawa contractors navigate these evolving safety regulations to protect both their workers and their businesses.
