Areas Of Practice
Corporate and Commercial
The lawyers at Spina Davies Law Professional Corporation have expertise in a wide variety of corporate and commercial matters, bringing together business law and transactional work, with strategic, practical, and entrepreneurial experience.
Businesses are often involved in commercial situations that are the core of their value, whether it be a single transaction, such as the purchase of an asset or property, the creation of a new business relationship (partnership or joint venture), developing and marketing their own product or service, or securing the rights to market or develop a product or service (franchising).
Our practice and experience cover a wide range of business services, including commercial agreements, the establishment of new businesses, incorporations, partnerships, and joint ventures, commercial leasing (in conjunction with our real estate department) and generally providing legal advice touching on almost every need that a business might have.
We have been involved in cross-border transactions between Canada and the United States as well as Latin America and have acted as a portal between Latin America and Canada assisting businesses in jurisdictions and have developed excellent relationships with law firms in other jurisdictions to provide high-level and professional legal services to our clients to meet their specific needs.

Wills, Powers of Attorney, Trusts, and Estate Planning and Litigation
WILLS
A carefully thought out and drafted will ensures that your wishes with respect to the distribution of your estate are carried out after your death. A poorly drafted will could result in those wishes being partially or entirely invalid, leaving the distribution to be made pursuant to a legislated scheme that may or may not meet the needs of your family.
We will consult with you personally to determine your unique needs, given your particular circumstances, and prepare a will that meets those needs.
We strive to provide our services with the utmost professionalism and with the sensitivity and compassion that are required to deal with delicate personal and family issues.
POWERS OF ATTORNEY
There are two Powers of Attorney of vital importance in the event you are unable to
make decisions in connection with your property or health due to incapacity.
A Power of Attorney is a document that allows you to delegate legal authority to deal with your real estate and personal property in the same manner you would yourself, but are unable to, due to temporary illness, permanent incapacity or absence. This document is an essential component of every estate plan. Each Power of Attorney can be customized to meet the needs that arise from that individual's circumstances. The
absence of a valid Power of Attorney may result in the province's public trustee assuming the legal responsibility and control of your assets in the event of a disability or incapacity to deal with your property, be it on a temporary or permanent basis.
The Power of Attorney for Personal Care directs your attorney as to what measures should be taken with regard to your ongoing personal care and to make decisions with respect to medical treatment in the event that you are not able to do so.
