Navigating Risk and Opportunity

Edmonton and north-central Alberta are home to many dynamic, entrepreneurial businesses making an impact locally and beyond.

Whether you are starting a company, managing daily operations, entering into agreements, planning for growth, or dealing with a dispute, Kunyk Law provides practical legal guidance to help protect your interests and support your goals.

We work with entrepreneurs, small businesses, and established companies across a range of sectors. As your business grows and your needs change, we are here to help you manage risk and move forward with confidence.

Kunyk Law also represents individuals in wrongful dismissal and employment-related matters.

Corporate Law

Our Corporate Law practice is focused on helping businesses build a strong legal foundation. For new businesses, this means putting the right structure, documents, and agreements in place from the beginning. For established businesses, it may involve governance advice, shareholder matters, regulatory compliance, succession planning, or support through major changes.

Kunyk Law helps business owners understand their options, make informed decisions, and proactively address legal issues before they become larger problems. Our goal is to help you create a framework that supports clear decision-making, protects ownership interests, and positions the business for long-term success.

Services include:

  • Incorporation and formation of corporate entities
  • Mergers, demergers, and acquisitions
  • Corporate governance, including bylaws
  • Unanimous Shareholder Agreements
  • Shareholder rights
  • Regulatory compliance
  • Divestment and succession planning

Commercial Law

Our Commercial Law practice focuses on the day-to-day legal matters that impact your business operations. This often includes contracts, transactions, employment matters, intellectual property agreements, and dispute management.

Clear and well-drafted agreements can help prevent misunderstandings, protect your interests, and support healthy business relationships. Kunyk Law assists clients with reviewing, preparing, and negotiating agreements that reflect their objectives and manage potential risk.

Where disputes arise, we can provide practical advice and litigation support. We have acted for both individuals and corporations in employment-related matters and understand the competing priorities that can exist on either side of a dispute.

Services include:

  • Contractual agreements
  • Transactional agreements
  • Trademarks and patents
  • Intellectual property agreements
  • Employment law and wrongful dismissal
  • Litigation and dispute management

Wrongful Dismissal Lawyer

Losing your job can be stressful, especially if you are unsure whether your termination package is fair or whether your employer followed the proper process. Wrongful dismissal is often referred to as termination without cause, and some employment situations may also be classified as constructive dismissal, where an employer makes significant changes to the terms of employment that leave the employee with little choice but to resign.

We can assist with reviewing severance packages, employment agreements, termination clauses, workplace policies, and the circumstances surrounding your dismissal. Our goal is to help you understand your position and pursue a fair outcome.

Kunyk Law also advises employers on employment matters, helping businesses manage risk, respond appropriately to workplace issues, and approach dismissals with care and compliance.

Legal Support for Every Stage of Business

Your legal needs will change as your business develops. A new business may need help choosing the right structure, incorporating, preparing bylaws, or setting expectations between owners. A growing business may require contracts, employment policies, shareholder agreements, or risk management advice. A more established business may need support with transactions, disputes, succession planning, or regulatory obligations.

Kunyk Law provides guidance that reflects where your business is today and where you want it to go. We work to understand your goals, identify legal considerations, and provide practical advice that supports confident decision-making.

Clear Guidance From Start to Finish

Corporate and commercial legal matters can involve important decisions, detailed documentation, and long-term consequences. Kunyk Law helps make the process more manageable by providing clear guidance at each stage.

1. Understand Your Business

We begin by learning about your business, goals, ownership structure, concerns, and current legal needs. This helps us provide advice that is specific to your situation.

2. Identify Key Legal Considerations

We review the legal issues involved and help you understand your options, risks, and obligations. Our focus is on giving you practical advice in clear, straightforward language.

3. Prepare or Review Documents

We assist with preparing, reviewing, or negotiating the documents required to move your matter forward, including agreements, corporate records, governance documents, or transaction materials.

4. Support Your Next Steps

Whether you are launching, growing, restructuring, resolving a dispute, or planning for succession, we help you take the appropriate next steps with confidence.

When to Speak With a Business Lawyer

Legal support can be valuable before a problem arises, not only after one has already occurred. Speaking with a lawyer early can help your business avoid uncertainty, reduce risk, and build a stronger foundation for future growth.

You may benefit from corporate or commercial legal advice if:

  • You are starting or incorporating a business
  • You are entering into a new business relationship
  • You need a contract drafted or reviewed
  • You are bringing on shareholders, partners, or investors
  • You are buying, selling, restructuring, or winding down a business
  • You need employment agreements, policies, or severance advice
  • You are dealing with a shareholder, contractual, or employment dispute
  • You want to plan for business succession or transition

We are strategic and meticulous in safeguarding your interests and setting you up to pursue opportunities with utmost confidence."
