Business Succession Planning
Business Succession Planning Lawyers in Toronto, Ontario
Kenneth Cancellara Law - business succession planning lawyers in Toronto, serves clients throughout Toronto, including the communities of regions of Peel, York, Durham, Halton, Etobicoke and surrounding areas.
A business is an asset just like anything else in an estate plan, but it is a special class of asset. Businesses and professional practices have many obligations — obligations to partners, shareholders, employees, vendors, clients, lenders, creditors and others. Businesses are also taxed differently than other assets.
Proper planning can allow successors to minimize or avoid disputes with these varied interests in your business. At Kenneth Cancellara Law, we advise clients throughout the Greater Toronto Area on the efficient and effective transitioning of responsibilities to the next generation or to whomever they would like to name as their successor(s).
With the roots of our law firm dating back to 1902, we have extensive experience in all aspects of estate planning and business law. We have helped family and small businesses, incorporated and unincorporated businesses, and others facilitate the longevity of their hard work just as we have done with our own business through three generations.

The work of our experienced lawyers will maximize and protect the value of your investment. Once your intentions are clear, we can help you work to keep everyone involved with your succession plan on the same page and reduce risks.
