Incorporating the company is the first document, not the last one
Setting the company up, amending the bylaws, putting in writing what a board or a shareholders’ meeting decided, moving shares between partners, or winding the company down. At each of those moments there is a document to be written, and a lawyer at the firm drafts it. It starts with a fifteen-minute consultation: that is where we work out which one you need, what information we need from your side, and what gets delivered.
A lawyer at the firm drafts every document and reviews it with you before it is signed. There is nothing here to download and no template that fills itself in.
From the fifteen-minute call to the signed document
Three steps with a lawyer at the firm. There is no form to fill in and no document that generates itself.
Step 1 of 3. The fifteen-minute consultation
You tell us where your company stands: whether you are just setting it up, whether something changed between the partners, or whether there is a decision you want in writing. Out of that comes the list of documents and of the information we need from your side.
Deliverable: the list of documents and information
Step 2 of 3. Drafting by a lawyer
A lawyer at the firm drafts each document from that list and adapts it to how your company works. Nothing generates itself and nothing comes out of a template.
Deliverable: a draft to review with you
Step 3 of 3. Review, final version and record
We go over the draft with you, hand you the final version for signing as an editable document, and keep a record of what was signed and when. The next set of minutes starts from there instead of from scratch.
Deliverable: final version and file of everything signed
This starts with a conversation, not with a form
Before anything gets written, we need to know which document you need. Set aside fifteen minutes with a lawyer at the firm and you leave with the list.
How it starts
Fifteen minutes with a lawyer, before a single line is written
This line does not start with a form: it starts with a conversation. It is the same one whether you are incorporating a company, sorting out the contracts with your clients, or publishing your product’s terms.
- You tell us what you have on your hands and what you need to sign.
- We work out which documents cover it and what information we need from your side.
- We tell you what gets delivered, how long it takes, and at what fee.

What you get, and what it costs you
What we charge are the firm’s fees, and they come out of the consultation once the scope is set. If the engagement also carries a payment to a third party, we tell you there, with its source.
What you get
- The documents that set the company up, drafted by a lawyer at the firm
- The minutes of the board and shareholders’ meetings covered by the engagement, handled the same way
- The documents for a bylaw amendment or for a change in who holds the shares
- And the closing ones, if what comes next is winding the company down
- A draft to review with you and the final version for signing, as an editable document
- The file of what was signed and when, so the next document does not start from scratch
You will not find templates or sample clauses to copy here. Every document is drafted for your case.
What we do not charge you
No government fee
Our quote has a single kind of line item: the firm’s fees. We do not put a government fee at zero, because a zero would also be a data point and we have none published for this one. If the engagement carries a payment to a third party, we tell you in the consultation, with its source.
We do not publish a fee for this service yet: it depends on how many documents the engagement covers. The fifteen-minute consultation is where the scope is set, and the fee reaches you in writing.
Are any of these documents filed with an authority?

How long we take, and what is not up to us
Drafting runs on our own clock and we tell you what it is in the consultation. Anything that depends on a regulation is confirmed by the principal attorney.
