Incorporation is an important step for many business owners — but it is not the end of the legal planning process.

Shareholder agreements, clear contracts, proper record-keeping, and accurate representations in business dealings all play an important role in reducing risk.

Whether you are starting a new company, growing an existing business, or entering into a major transaction, early legal advice can help protect both your business and your personal interests.

Limited liability is one of the key benefits of incorporation, but it is not absolute.

In a recent Ontario Court of Appeal decision, the court confirmed that directors and officers can be held personally liable where their own conduct amounts to civil fraud or reckless misrepresentation. Acting through a corporation does not shield an individual from responsibility for their own wrongful conduct.

For business owners, directors, and officers, this case highlights the importance of ensuring that representations made in commercial negotiations are accurate, supportable, and grounded in proper due diligence.

Pavey Law LLP’s latest blog looks at what this decision means for Ontario businesses and why legal advice is especially important before entering into significant commercial transactions.

In a busy real estate market, it can be tempting to move quickly — but before you sign, it’s important to understand what the agreement means.

Conditions, closing dates, title issues, deposits, and unexpected costs can all have a significant impact on your transaction. Getting legal advice early can help you feel more prepared and avoid surprises later.

Whether you are buying or selling property in Ontario, Pavey Law can help guide you through the legal details.

Buying a new build in Ontario? The province’s new HST relief measures could create significant savings for eligible home buyers, investors, builders, landlords, and developers.

These changes may affect newly built homes, substantially renovated homes, residential rental properties, pre-construction purchases, and some assignment transactions — but eligibility depends on the details.

Timing, purchase structure, rebate assignments, occupancy intentions, and filing requirements can all play an important role.

Before signing or closing on a new residential property, it is important to understand how the new rules may apply to your transaction.

Ignoring litigation does not make it go away — and in some cases, it can make the consequences significantly worse.

A recent Ontario decision, Flegg v. Sigma Lithium Corporation, 2026 ONSC 2596, serves as a strong reminder that courts can and will proceed when a party fails to participate. In this case, the defendant did not attend trial or make submissions, and the court awarded substantial damages, including aggravated and punitive damages, costs, and interest.

For businesses, employers, and individuals, the takeaway is clear: early legal advice matters. Responding strategically from the outset can help manage risk, protect your position, and avoid conduct that may increase financial exposure.

Artificial Intelligence is changing the way many people approach research, writing, and document preparation — including in the legal system.

However, courts across Canada are making it clear that AI-generated legal materials must be carefully verified before they are relied upon. Fabricated case law, inaccurate legal arguments, and unsupported authorities can lead to serious consequences, including fines, cost awards, findings of misconduct, and damage to credibility before the court.

The key issue is not whether AI was used. The issue is whether the materials submitted to the court are accurate, lawful, and properly supported.

AI may be a useful tool, but it does not replace legal training, professional judgment, or the duty to ensure that court filings are correct. For both lawyers and self-represented litigants, responsibility for accuracy remains with the person signing and filing the documents.
