Contracts and Agreements Lawyers in Edmonton, Alberta

Contracts are the backbone of business relationships, defining the terms, responsibilities, and protections for all parties involved. Cambria LLP provides comprehensive support for businesses and individuals in Edmonton and across Alberta to create, review, and enforce various essential agreements. From shareholder agreements to employment contracts and non-disclosure agreements (NDAs), our experienced legal team ensures your contracts are tailored, legally sound, and designed to protect your interests.

Shareholder Agreements

A shareholder agreement is a critical document for any company with multiple owners, detailing the rights and responsibilities of shareholders, as well as terms for share ownership, transfer, and dispute resolution. A well-drafted shareholder agreement helps prevent disputes, protects the business's future, and provides clarity to all shareholders. Cambria LLP assists with creating customized shareholder agreements that align with your company's objectives and Alberta's corporate regulations.

Key Elements of a Shareholder Agreement

• Ownership and Voting Rights. Define shareholder voting rights and ownership percentages to establish clear decision-making authority.
• Share Transfer and Buy-Sell Provisions. Outline rules for transferring shares and buy-sell terms in the event of a shareholder's exit, retirement, or death.
• Dispute Resolution and Exit Strategies. Set up mechanisms for resolving disputes and strategies for shareholder exits, minimizing potential disruptions to the business.

Our Shareholder Agreement Services Include

• Custom Agreement Drafting. We create agreements specific to your business structure, goals, and shareholder expectations.
• Review and Updates for Existing Agreements. Our team reviews existing shareholder agreements to ensure they remain relevant and fully compliant with current laws.
• Compliance with Alberta Laws. We ensure your shareholder agreements align with Alberta's corporate laws and governance standards.

Employment contracts define the relationship between employer and employee, including terms such as salary, job duties, benefits, and termination provisions. A strong employment contract provides clarity and legal protection, reducing the likelihood of disputes.

Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs)

Non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) protect sensitive business information and intellectual property. NDAs create a legal framework that prevents the unauthorized sharing or use of confidential information by employees, contractors, or business partners. Cambria LLP provides expert guidance on drafting NDAs that safeguard your business interests, ensuring your proprietary information remains secure.

Types of NDAs We Offer

• Unilateral NDAs. Used when only one party (such as an employer) discloses confidential information to another party (such as an employee or contractor).
• Mutual NDAs. Used when both parties share confidential information, such as in a joint venture or partnership.
• Employee and Contractor NDAs. Tailored NDAs for employees and contractors that protect your business secrets, processes, client lists, and other proprietary information.

Our NDA Services Include

• Tailored NDA Drafting. We create NDAs that specifically address the type of information being protected, the confidentiality duration, and the information's permitted uses.
• Compliance with Privacy and IP Laws. We ensure your NDAs comply with relevant privacy laws and intellectual property protections in Alberta.
• Review and Enforcement. If an NDA is breached, our team can assist with enforcement actions to protect your rights and confidential information.
