Law Services.
Legal guidance for every stage of your business journey — backed by over 100 years of trusted experience.
Running a business means making constant decisions that can affect your future—sometimes with legal implications you didn’t anticipate. At Pritchard & Co. Law Firm LLP, our corporate law team helps you navigate Alberta’s complex legal landscape with confidence and clarity.
Incorporations & Corporate Structuring
We help you choose the right business structure—incorporation, partnership, or joint venture—and ensure all necessary documents and filings are in place. A strong foundation can reduce liability, improve tax outcomes, and streamline future growth.
Business Transactions
From asset purchases and share sales to mergers and acquisitions, our team provides clear guidance and thorough due diligence. We protect your interests in every deal—whether you’re buying, selling, or restructuring.
Shareholder & Partnership Agreements
Avoid future disputes by establishing clear expectations and responsibilities up front. We draft and review shareholder agreements, partnership contracts, and joint venture agreements that reflect your unique business relationships.
Corporate Governance & Compliance
We support you in maintaining good standing with corporate registries, staying compliant with Alberta and federal laws, and keeping records up to date. Our team also advises directors and officers on governance matters and fiduciary duties.
Commercial Contracts
Solid contracts are the backbone of any business. We draft, negotiate, and review a wide range of commercial agreements, including:
- Employment agreements
- Confidentiality and non-compete clauses
- Service contracts
- Lease agreements
- Financing arrangements
Succession & Exit Planning
Planning for the future of your business is just as important as building it. We work closely with your accountant and financial advisors to create a transition plan that reflects your personal goals and protects the value of your company.

- You're starting a business or incorporating
- You're bringing on new shareholders or partners
- You're negotiating a major contract or lease
- You're selling or buying a business
