Finestra Law Practice Areas
We don’t do it all but what we do, we do well.
Corporate Law
- Entity structuring and reorganizations
- Shareholder agreements and governance frameworks
- Cross-border corporate compliance
- Founder and investor alignment
- Executive employment and equity arrangements
Our clients come to us when the next phase of the business requires new legal architecture—not templates.
M&A and Strategic Transactions
- Acquisitions, divestitures, joint ventures
- Cross-border asset and equity deals
- Negotiation strategy and risk management
- Internal reorganizations ahead of exit
- Post-closing integration strategy
We are often brought in not because a deal is simple, but because it isn’t—and cannot afford to go sideways.
International Tax Planning
- Tax-efficient structuring for operations, investments and exits
- Coordination with foreign advisors and institutions
- Treaty planning
- Pre-migration and post-residency planning
We work quietly and methodically with clients whose balance sheets cross borders and whose risk profiles cannot tolerate shortcuts.
Domestic Tax Planning & Dispute Resolution
- Business succession and exit tax planning
- Partnership and joint venture structuring
- Compensation strategies
- Tax considerations for trust and entity ownership
- Coordination with accountants and wealth managers
- Client representation in disputes with CRA
We advise closely held businesses, entrepreneurs, and private wealth clients on complex tax strategies. We also fight for them in disputes with the tax authorities.
Private Client & Estate Structuring
- International estate and succession planning
- Trusts, holding vehicles, and asset protection
- Family governance structuring
- Coordination with tax advisors and fiduciaries
- Intergenerational wealth transfer for business families
Many of our clients are first-generation wealth creators preparing for second-generation complexity. Others are global families facing conflicting jurisdictional regimes. We design for both.
Technology & Emerging Markets
- Legal structuring for early-stage and high-growth tech
- Digital asset compliance
- Licensing, SaaS, IP strategy, and platform regulation
- Commercial agreements and market-entry positioning
- Privacy Compliance
We understand the speed of new markets—and the importance of building on legally sound foundations from day one. We advise on the legal strategy behind innovation—especially where traditional models don’t apply.
