Canadian tax laws are very complex! This fact was acknowledged by the Supreme Court of Canada when, speaking of the Income Tax Act (Canada), it stated:

To keep up to date with the many changes occurring in tax law, it is necessary that we devote ourselves exclusively to our tax practice. One cannot dabble part-time in tax law. That is why we have practised tax law full-time for more than 32 years. We have acquired the necessary knowledge and experience to properly advise you on tax matters.

As lawyers, we deal with tax matters in a way that is different from that of other tax professionals. For one thing, we rarely do tax returns. Where other tax professionals must stop in the tax planning process, we take over and draft the legal documentation required to put the tax or estate plan into effect. Our general knowledge of the law, as well as our specific knowledge of tax law, permits us to incorporate in our documents the tax clauses necessary to ensure that your tax planning objectives are met and that your taxes are minimized. If a particular tax plan has already been proposed by other tax professionals, we can work with them to draft the required legal documents. We can also alert them to any adverse legal consequence of the proposed plan.

Since we are lawyers, you benefit from solicitor-client privilege if ever you are challenged on your particular tax situation. We can negotiate with Canada Revenue Agency on your behalf to reduce potential assessments, we can represent you before the tax courts, and we can act as tax counsel to your organizations if you do not have in-house tax expertise. We act for individuals, private corporations and other organizations.
