But if a dispute is headed to court, we have the experience and resources to represent you.

Corporate / Commercial

Buying or selling a business can be a daunting tax. Asset sale? Share sale? Tax consequences? Retaining or discharging employees? Regulatory or environmental concerns? Financing?

Municipal Law

In the last 20 years, municipalities have been given much greater freedom and autonomy to conduct their own affairs, without oversight by a provincial or federal government. With such autonomy comes increased responsibility. Compliance with Nova Scotia’s Municipal Government Act and other related statutes is essential for good governance. This is a specialized area of law that requires experience and expertise.

Wills and Estates

Many people think that dying without a will is not a problem for their heirs and a great way to save some money on legal fees while alive. Ask anyone who has served as Administrator of an Estate where there is no will and they will tell you about the difficulties: the nightmare of dealing with heirs who feel shortchanged, or the expensive bond that is required. They will also tell you that dying without a will leaves a legacy for heirs that many would prefer to have never “inherited”.

To discuss a will, and the administration of an estate, speak with Peter Nathanson, Bill Watts, Haileigh Fletcher or any of our other lawyers.
