Our Practices
Business Law

Downtown Toronto means business. Garfinkle, Biderman takes care of the legal requirements that help keep many Toronto businesses running smoothly. We’ve seen it all in the course of almost 60 years of professional practice.

Unlike litigation law, business law is much more about agreements than disagreements. The term ‘business law’ applies to a wide range of filings, contracts and other process-related legal matters that involve transactions, or compliance with laws and regulations. Public companies have the additional burden of shareholder issues, governance and securities filings.

Some of the areas our lawyers handle on a regular basis include:

• Tax planning and compliance
• Landlord and tenant agreements
• Corporate and commercial contracts, licenses
• Matters of incorporation, mergers, partnerships, joint ventures
• Commercial leasing, office and retail
• Agency agreements
• Franchise agreements
• Bankruptcies, insolvencies and restructurings

At Garfinkle, Biderman, we help all kinds of corporations—especially financial services organizations such as investment dealers, merchant banks and funds companies. We develop a close and ongoing business relationship with many of these clients that makes us almost part of their organizations.
