Indispensable assistance

Companies in commerce very often are SMEs without an internal legal department at their disposal. These companies must rely on external expertise that is both highly competent and readily available.

By reason of our “business” approach, Spiegel Sohmer represents a legal solution ideal for a large number of these enterprises, most notably in the following sectors:

• catering;
• retailing;
• franchising;
• product distribution.

Strategic counsel

These companies find in our firm a team of advisors able to assure them with foreground counsel on all strategic aspects of their operations:

• litigation;
• transactions (acquisitions, sales, mergers, reorganization, transfers of control);
• commercial agreements;
• protection of intellectual property (copyrights and trademarks).

Support of operations

In addition to strategic counsel, we also bring our support to commercial enterprises in their day-to-day management. Our attorneys often are called for counsel on matters such as business conduct, human resources management, an opportunity to conclude a major transaction, or relevance of a new business strategy. In this sense, they act not only in an immediate manner, but as partners–consultants.

Other services

Clients without an internal corporate department also can avail themselves of our services to manage and update corporate books, follow-up on government declarations (such as annual reports), and attend to other administrative or legal formalities. With twenty-three full-time employees devoted solely to these purposes, our service is probably the most important of its kind in Montréal.
