Common Questions
Corporate law questions Caledon clients often ask.
What makes a long-term contract risky?
Renewal, termination, price changes, exclusivity, liability, default, assignment, and dispute terms can all matter.
Should assets be listed before a business sale?
Yes. Assets, liabilities, contracts, leases, inventory, IP, and equipment should be identified during review.
Can ownership changes be handled informally?
They should be documented properly because tax, authority, liability, and future sale issues may be affected.
