Corporate Governance Lawyers in Edmonton, Alberta

Effective corporate governance is essential for a company’s long-term success, helping ensure compliance, accountability, and ethical decision-making at every level. At Cambria LLP, we assist businesses in Edmonton and across Alberta with building robust governance frameworks, establishing clear bylaws and resolutions, and advising boards of directors. Whether you’re a new business or an established corporation, our experienced team is here to guide you through the complexities of corporate governance, protecting your company’s reputation and supporting sustainable growth.


Bylaws and Resolutions

Corporate bylaws are the foundation of your company’s internal rules and procedures, governing how your organization operates and makes decisions. On the other hand, resolutions are formal decisions made by the board of directors or shareholders to authorize specific actions. Both are critical to ensuring your company runs smoothly, legally, and in alignment with your strategic objectives. Cambria LLP provides expert guidance on drafting, reviewing, and updating bylaws and resolutions to reflect your company’s needs and comply with Alberta’s legal requirements.

Key Bylaw and Resolution Services

  • Custom Bylaw Drafting and Review. We help you create or update bylaws tailored to your company’s structure, addressing key areas like voting procedures, board composition, and meeting protocols.
  • Resolutions for Strategic Actions. Our team assists with drafting resolutions for significant corporate actions, such as mergers, acquisitions, dividend declarations, and changes in leadership.
  • Compliance with Alberta’s Corporate Regulations. We ensure that your bylaws and resolutions are fully compliant with Alberta’s corporate laws, reducing the risk of disputes or compliance issues.

Frequently Asked Questions

While not legally required, having a lawyer draft or review corporate resolutions can ensure accuracy, compliance, and enforceability. Legal guidance can also help identify any legal implications of the resolution, especially for significant actions like mergers, executive appointments, or capital restructuring.

Corporate bylaws are the internal rules and procedures that govern a corporation’s operations, including how the board is structured, voting rights, and meeting protocols. Bylaws are essential because they ensure consistency, establish authority, and help prevent misunderstandings or disputes among directors and shareholders.

Corporations should review their bylaws periodically, particularly after significant changes in the business structure, industry regulations, or corporate governance standards. Regular reviews ensure that bylaws remain relevant and fully compliant with current laws.

A board member’s fiduciary duty includes acting in the company’s best interest, avoiding conflicts of interest, and maintaining loyalty to the organization. This duty requires directors to act with care, diligence, and integrity, and to prioritize the company’s success over personal interests.
