Building stronger businesses
Good corporate governance isn’t just about compliance—it’s about creating a solid foundation for sustainable success. Strong governance ensures that your business is legally protected, financially resilient, and strategically positioned for growth. By maintaining clear agreements, structured oversight, and proactive legal planning, you can avoid costly disputes, strengthen shareholder confidence, and navigate change with confidence.
That’s where our Corporate Care Plan comes in. This comprehensive, flat-rate solution is designed to support your business’s ongoing legal needs. We provide structured oversight to keep your corporate agreements, shareholder relations, and operational frameworks aligned with your evolving goals. This isn’t just a one-time service—we regularly revisit and update your agreements, ensuring your legal foundation remains robust, relevant, and tailored to your business’s growth.
Let us help you build a business that’s legally sound, strategically resilient, and ready for the future.
YOUR CORPORATE CARE PLAN
In-person meetings are foundational to the Corporate Care Plan. We review your corporation’s legal needs, sign all required documents and discuss your plans and future goals.
Some specifics we’ll handle include:
- Reviewing your plans and how they may impact your business’ legal obligations
- Filing your Annual Information Return with the government business registry
- Hosting and documenting your annual meetings of Directors and Shareholders
- Preparation of documents to evidence payment of any dividends
- Storage of your Minute Book and maintenance of all required registers in your Minute Book
We Favour In Person Meetings
The best legal work happens when your lawyer understands you and your business. That’s why we prioritize meaningful, face-to-face meetings with our corporate clients.
Each year, we set aside dedicated time to meet, not just to update your minute book or sign documents but to dive deeper into your business values, challenges, and future goals. These sessions are an opportunity for intentional collaboration, where your insights and needs come together with our expertise.
Connecting with your legal team helps make your corporation feel tangible and valuable. When we treat things as important, they become important—and that’s a standard we hold for ourselves and our clients.
WHAT DO YOU NEED
TO KNOW TO RUN A
BUSINESS?
Most people don’t start a business because they want to do paperwork and file reports. You have passions and expertise that led you to where you are, and the legal part is just the reality you need to deal with. Educating yourself on the nitty-gritty and the less commonly known facts of how the law intersects with running a business can help you feel sure of yourself as an entrepreneur, regardless of your industry.
Ask the right questions
Most entrepreneurs know there’s plenty they don’t know about running a business. Asking the right questions is often more powerful than having all the answers. Here are some questions you might have as you get started.
What is Corporate law?
Corporate Law covers the rules, regulations, and legal frameworks specific to corporations, focusing on commercial and contract laws related to their formation and operations.
How can a lawyer help me choose the best type of business?
Some lawyers might guess, but at Brown Lawyers, our legal coaches carefully review options tailored to your business’s unique needs. We consider tax benefits, liability management, and administrative requirements for partnerships or incorporations to align with your goals.
How detailed do my records need to be?
It varies. The level of detail depends on your business and its circumstances. With a legal coach, your records, reports, and shareholder meetings are managed in a structured, dedicated way to ensure compliance.
How do I avoid making mistakes when I set up my business?
The best way is to have an experienced legal coach guide you. We help you build a strong legal foundation, avoiding costly mistakes and future legal complications.
