Tax

The Lawson Lundell tax team provides creative yet practical tax advice to a wide range of clients including public and private companies, private equity funds, partnerships, pension funds, investment advisors, governmental entities, owner-managed businesses and high net worth individuals. Tax considerations are key drivers to many business decisions and transactions. Our tax team can provide you with the advice that you need to make those decisions.

We have expertise in all areas of business taxation, including income tax, sales tax, GST, property tax and resource taxation. We regularly advise on the tax aspects and tax structuring of business acquisitions and divestments, private equity fund investments, corporate reorganizations, public securities offerings and commercial lending transactions. Our innovative team of tax lawyers has developed highly sophisticated tax plans for a variety of significant transactions. When necessary, we also represent our clients in resolving tax disputes with the Canada Revenue Agency, in conducting property tax appeals and in tax litigation.

Each of the members of our tax team has practiced not only as tax lawyers, but also as corporate commercial lawyers. We recognize that tax objectives often need to be balanced against the commercial practicalities of achieving those objectives, and we know when to strike that balance.
