Guidance for Nonprofit Incorporation & Governance in British Columbia
Deciding whether to incorporate as a nonprofit is a critical decision for many organizations. Our experienced nonprofit lawyers offer consultations to help you understand the benefits and responsibilities of incorporating under the British Columbia Societies Act or the federal Canada Not-for-Profit Corporations Act. We assist you through the incorporation process, including drafting bylaws and setting up governance structures that comply with provincial and federal regulations.
For organizations transitioning from unincorporated entities to incorporated ones, moving incorporation to British Columbia, or transitioning from provincial to federal incorporation, we provide support in handling the transfer of assets, liabilities, and membership, ensuring legal compliance at every step.
