Foreign Investment

Our Foreign Investment team advises international clients on establishing and expanding operations in Canada. With experience navigating regulatory frameworks, cross-border structuring, and investment approvals, we provide clear pathways for market entry and growth.

We combine legal insight with a practical understanding of Canadian business realities, ensuring that foreign investors can operate confidently and effectively in a new environment.

Based in Ontario—Canada's economic powerhouse and home to Toronto, the country's financial and innovation capital—our team has guided hundreds of international companies through every stage of Canadian market entry. From initial feasibility studies to full-scale operations, we handle Investment Canada Act reviews (both net-benefit and national security), secure provincial incentives like the Ontario Jobs and Prosperity Fund, and structure tax-efficient holding companies using Ontario unlimited liability corporations or CBCA entities. We also coordinate multi-provincial expansions, ensuring compliance with local zoning, environmental assessments, and labor standards.

For clients from the Gulf Region, we offer a uniquely integrated service through our dedicated network of Gulf-based consultants and business advisors in Dubai, Riyadh, and Doha. These seasoned professionals bring deep on-the-ground knowledge of GCC investment priorities and cultural business practices. They work hand-in-hand with our Ontario lawyers to bridge the gap between Gulf capital and Canadian opportunities.
