Understanding Share and Asset Transactions

Every business transaction is unique. Choosing between a share transaction or an asset transaction can significantly impact taxation, liabilities, and operational continuity.

Share Acquisitions and Dispositions

In a share transaction, the buyer purchases shares of a corporation from the existing shareholders. Ownership of the company changes, but the business entity itself remains intact, including its contracts, licenses, and obligations.

Share transactions may be ideal when:

However, acquiring shares also means assuming the company’s existing liabilities. Proper due diligence and legal safeguards are essential.

Asset Acquisitions and Dispositions

In an asset transaction, the buyer acquires specific assets of a business, such as equipment, inventory, intellectual property, or customer lists, rather than purchasing the company itself.

Asset transactions are often preferred when:

Each structure has legal, financial, and tax implications. Our role is to help you choose the structure that aligns best with your business objectives.

What Factors Do Courts Consider in Child Custody Cases?

Unlike common misconceptions, courts do not automatically favour mothers or fathers. The primary standard is always:

“What is in the best interests of the child?”

Courts examine factors such as:

Emotional stability and safety
Parental ability to meet daily needs
Each parent’s involvement in the child’s life
The child’s relationship with siblings
Household stability
Parents' ability to cooperate
Past conduct that may affect parenting capacity
The child’s preferences (depending on age and maturity)

Our legal team presents strong evidence to ensure your side of the story is heard clearly and fairly.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) – Child Custody Lawyer Mississauga

How is child custody determined in Ontario?

Custody—now referred to as decision-making responsibility—is determined based on the child’s best interests, not parental preference. Courts assess emotional needs, stability, safety, and parental involvement.

Can we create our own parenting plan?

Yes. Parents are encouraged to create their own parenting plans. Our lawyers can help draft a clear, enforceable agreement that reflects the needs of your child.

Do courts prefer joint custody?

Courts encourage cooperative parenting, but joint custody isn’t granted if parents cannot communicate or if safety concerns exist.

Can I move to another city or country with my child?

Relocations require either the other parent’s consent or a court order. Courts consider how the move impacts the child’s well-being, education, and relationship with both parents.

At what age can a child decide which parent to live with?

There is no specific age. Courts consider a child’s preferences when they demonstrate maturity and understanding, typically around age 12 or older.

How long does a custody case take?

Simple cases may be resolved in a few months, while complex or contested cases may take longer, depending on court availability and the level of conflict.

Can custody arrangements be changed later?

Yes. If circumstances change significantly—such as relocation, safety issues, or major life changes—you can request a modification.
