Macdonald & Sager LLP can provide a broad array of corporate legal services to a diverse client base with focus on entrepreneurial start-up ventures. We guide our clients through the legal issues that affect not only their ability to obtain financing, but also to maintain their operations in today's highly competitive, high-speed business environment. We measure our success by the success of our clients and the longevity of their relationships with us. Macdonald & Sager LLP working with other professionals can advise our clients on a wide range of issues including corporate, commercial, securities, intellectual property and technology law, stock exchange listings, local, cross-border and international private placements and special warrant financings, mergers and acquisitions, proxy disputes and shareholder rights plans.
We can advise issuers and underwriters in connection with public and private issuances of a variety of debt and equity instruments. With respect to public offerings, Macdonald & Sager LLP can represent issuers in offerings of debt and equity securities, including initial public offerings, collateralized mortgage obligations, unit investment trust offerings, syndicated limited partnership interests, medium term note programs, and hybrid instruments such as foreign denominated debt securities, as well as traditional common stock and convertible debt offerings.
Our work in the area of corporate and commercial law also includes advising on matters, such as confidentiality agreements, loan facility agreements and security documents, intellectual property protection, computer software licenses and maintenance agreements, leasing agreements, insurance, employment agreements and trade practices issues. Additionally, we can assist resolving disputes between businesses, partners and directors, and advise on directors' liabilities and their duties to companies. Our lateral approach is geared to minimize the affect of disputes and where ever possible avoid litigation, allowing business managers to keep focused on success strategies rather than being diverted by time-consuming, costly disputes that detract from the focus on the company and its business.
Construction Law
Our community is home to a booming construction industry, and we can assist our clients at every stage of construction projects. We work with real estate owners and developers, contractors and subtrades, engineering and architectural consultants, and material suppliers who are the links of the construction chain, from small builds and renovations, to larger building and capital projects.
If you are starting a project, we can help negotiate, draft, and advise on construction contracts, including CCDC standard form contracts and specialized construction agreements. We can mediate and litigate construction disputes. We have expertise in builders’ liens and the lawsuits that arise out of them. We draw on the experience of our solicitors and litigators from a variety of practice areas that are relevant to clients operating in the building and construction industries, including;
Construction projects involve complex, multilayered relationships. We understand the vertical integration of the construction industry, and our experience with diverse construction clients means we know the disputes that can arise in construction projects, and we can identify, avoid, or resolve the ‘red flag’ issues. We have the knowledge, expertise, and experience to help guide you and your company through the legal pitfalls that can occur in construction, and we can help make sure that your project runs smoothly from the outset.
