Business Lawyer for Companies and SMEs in Quebec

Choosing the legal structure of your business is one of the first important decisions you will make. Sole proprietorship, general partnership, corporation — each form has different consequences for personal liability, taxation, and governance. Getting this right at the start avoids costly restructuring down the road.

Me Crevier guides you through this choice based on your personal situation, business objectives, and industry. He then handles the incorporation, drafts the articles of incorporation, sets up the minute books, and takes care of all the legal formalities required to put your business on solid footing from day one.

A poorly drafted contract can expose you to unexpected obligations, costly disputes, or the inability to enforce your rights. Whether it is a service agreement, a distribution contract, a non-disclosure agreement, a letter of intent, or a franchise agreement, every document must accurately reflect your intentions and protect your interests.

Me Crevier drafts and reviews your commercial contracts to ensure that the key clauses are clear and enforceable. He identifies risk areas, proposes concrete changes, and explains the implications of each provision before you sign.

A shareholder agreement governs the relationship between the shareholders of a corporation. It sets out decision-making rules, the rights and obligations of each shareholder, exit mechanisms, pre-emptive rights, restrictions on share transfers, and procedures in case of disagreement.

Too many businesses start without a shareholder agreement, only to regret it when a disagreement or change of circumstances arises. Me Crevier drafts agreements tailored to the reality of your business and the objectives of each shareholder, so the rules are clear before problems arise.

As your business grows, it may become necessary to revisit its legal and tax structure. Creating a holding company, an estate freeze, transferring assets between related entities, restructuring ahead of a sale or the entry of investors — these transactions require careful legal planning.

Me Crevier works in collaboration with your tax advisors and accountants to implement corporate reorganizations that match your objectives, ensuring that each step is properly documented and that the legal formalities are respected throughout the process.

Buying or selling a business is one of the most significant transactions in an entrepreneur's career. Whether you are the buyer or the seller, you need a lawyer to guide you through each step: assessing the legal issues, conducting due diligence, negotiating the terms, drafting the purchase agreement, and closing the transaction.

Me Crevier identifies hidden risks, negotiates representations and warranties, structures payment conditions, and ensures that the documents accurately reflect what was agreed between the parties.

Business executives and directors face legal questions on a daily basis: fiduciary duties to the corporation, personal liability of directors, regulatory compliance, employment matters, intellectual property, and protection of confidential information.

Me Crevier is available to answer your questions, analyze your situations, and provide clear, practical legal opinions. He can intervene on an ad hoc basis or on a regular retainer, depending on your needs, without requiring you to maintain an in-house legal department.

Despite the best precautions, commercial disputes can arise: breach of contract, shareholder conflicts, debt recovery, unfair competition, or violations of confidentiality or non-competition agreements. When negotiation is no longer enough, you need a lawyer prepared to defend your interests.

Me Crevier represents businesses and entrepreneurs in commercial disputes, whether through mediation, arbitration, or before the courts. He analyzes your file, gives you an honest assessment of your chances of success, and develops a strategy suited to your objectives — whether that means settling quickly or defending your position to the end.
