Canada is entering a new period of investment and growth, creating opportunities for businesses looking to acquire or expand operations across the country. Turning those opportunities into successful investments requires a clear understanding of Canada’s distinct legal, regulatory and commercial landscape.
Canada’s federal system means businesses may be subject to federal, provincial, territorial and municipal requirements. The country also has two legal traditions: common law throughout most of Canada and civil law in Québec.
Dentons’ Doing Business in Canada guide provides a practical overview of the principal legal considerations for organizations looking to invest, establish operations or acquire a business in Canada. It is designed to help decision-makers identify key issues early, understand how requirements may differ across jurisdictions and plan their Canadian investments with greater confidence.
