NOT-FOR PROFITS

The not-for-profit sector in Canada is ever evolving, and donors, regulators, and the public have high expectations of how not-for-profits operate. We assist Ontario and federal not-for-profits with navigating and remaining compliant with the law so they can source funds and focus on what truly matters – carrying out their objectives.

We advise not-for-profits on a wide range of legal issues including:

Incorporating;
Amending Letters Patent/Articles of Incorporation;
Reserving and registering business names;
Creating and revising by-laws (including compliance with the new Not-for-Profit Corporations Act, 2010 (Ontario);
Annual governance and minute book maintenance;
Annual and special meetings;
Director and member roles, rights, and obligations;
Regulatory compliance;
Risk management;
Privacy policies and terms of service;
Commercial lease and general contract preparation, negotiation, and review; and
Reorganization, amalgamation, and dissolution.
