There are a number of core business interests that should be reviewed by a knowledgeable corporate lawyer in Toronto including the raising of capital, commercial mortgages, and commercialization, protection of assets and goodwill. Description: This matter arose from a contentious partnership disagreement in the real estate sector. The partners created a corporation in order to operate a real estate brokerage. They executed some documents, but did not execute a shareholders agreement. The brokerage began to operate with each director bearing equal expenses and all assets split 50/50. A few months into the operation of the brokerage, each partner was dissatisfied with the way the brokerage was run. They decided to go their separate ways. One partner decided that he was not happy with the 50/50 split and asserted that he was owed more because he brought in more business. Outcome: After lengthy litigation that included an injunction and an interim motion, the Court heard the Application and decided that absent any evidence of an agreement to the contrary, each director was entitled to 50 per cent of the assets of the corporation upon dissolution. The Respondent was successful.Case Study
