Corporate Law & Business Formation

Starting a business shouldn't feel like you're decoding ancient texts. We've helped hundreds of entrepreneurs get their companies off the ground without the headache. Whether you're going solo, partnering up, or building the next big thing, we'll make sure your foundation's solid from day one.

Entity Selection & Setup

Corp, LLC, partnership? We'll figure out what makes sense for your situation and your wallet.

Shareholder Agreements

Because nothing ruins a friendship faster than unclear ownership stakes.

Corporate Governance

Keep your records straight and stay compliant without losing your mind.

Honestly? If you've got your paperwork together, we can knock out a basic incorporation in about 3-5 business days. More complex structures with multiple shareholders or specific governance needs might take 2-3 weeks. The hold-up's usually on getting all the info from you, not the filing itself.

Look, you CAN do it yourself. But here's the thing - we've seen too many businesses come to us years later trying to fix messy structures that cost way more to untangle than they would've to set up right. If you're planning to raise money, bring on partners, or grow beyond a side hustle, do it properly from the start.

Provincial incorporation's cheaper and simpler if you're only operating in one province. Federal gives you name protection across Canada and more flexibility if you're planning to expand. We usually recommend provincial for local businesses and federal for companies with bigger ambitions. It's not a life-or-death decision though.
Client Testimonial

CLIENT STORY

"We were three co-founders with big ideas but zero clue about corporate structure. Drakarion walked us through everything, set up our shareholder agreement so there's no confusion, and we were incorporated in less than a week. Best decision we made."

International Trade & Customs Compliance

Shipping stuff across borders? It's a minefield of regulations, tariffs, and paperwork that can blow up in your face if you're not careful. We've been doing this for years, and trust me, we've seen every customs nightmare you can imagine. Let's make sure yours isn't one of them.

Tariff Classification

Get your HS codes right or pay the price. We'll classify your products properly from the get-go.

Import/Export Licenses

Navigate the permit maze without losing shipments or your sanity.

Trade Agreement Optimization

CUSMA, CETA, CPTPP - yeah, we know 'em. We'll save you money on duties where possible.

Nothing good. Your shipment gets held up, you might face penalties or additional duties, and in worst cases, they'll seize your goods. We've had clients come to us after paying thousands in unnecessary fees because they classified products wrong or missed required documentation. It's way cheaper to get it right the first time.

Yeah, we do emergency interventions all the time. It's not pretty and it's more expensive than doing it right from the start, but we can usually sort things out. The key is getting to us ASAP before the situation gets worse. Don't wait around hoping it'll resolve itself - it won't.

Absolutely. Every country's got its own rules, documentation requirements, and red tape. The US has specific CBP requirements, the EU's got CE marking and other standards, Asia's a whole different ballgame. That's where having someone who actually knows this stuff makes a huge difference.
Client Testimonial

CLIENT STORY

"We'd been importing from China for two years and thought we had it figured out. Then CBSA flagged three of our shipments in one month. Drakarion found misclassifications that could've resulted in major penalties. They cleaned up our entire compliance program and we haven't had an issue since."

Contract Services
Deal Protection

Contract Drafting & Negotiation

Every handshake deal should end up on paper, period. We've seen too many "friendly agreements" turn into legal disasters. Whether you're inking a major supply deal or just hiring a contractor, we'll draft contracts that actually protect you when things go sideways - because eventually, something always does.

Commercial Agreements

Supply agreements, distribution deals, service contracts - we'll draft 'em so there's no room for confusion.

Employment & Contractor Agreements

Protect your business secrets and make sure everyone knows what they're signing up for.

Contract Review & Negotiation

Got a contract from the other side? We'll tell you what's sketchy and push back on the stuff that's unfair.

Sure, if you like playing Russian roulette with your business. Templates are generic, often outdated, and usually not even specific to Canadian law. They miss crucial protections for your particular situation. We've had to clean up so many messes from people who went the cheap route with templates. It's a false economy, trust me.
