Every business relationship starts with a contract — and the quality of that contract determines the stability, rights, and obligations of everyone involved. Whether you’re hiring contractors, signing a lease, partnering with another company, or negotiating a vendor agreement, unclear or poorly drafted contracts can lead to costly disputes.
At Provenance Law, we draft, review, and negotiate commercial contracts that protect your business, limit risk, and ensure fairness. Our goal is simple: give you agreements that are clear, enforceable, and tailored to your operations.
We work with small businesses, startups, professionals, and corporations across Ontario.
