Experienced Lawyers, Ready to Help.

Evergreen Solicitors is a boutique law firm offering affordable, client-centred legal services to clients ranging from cross-border multinational corporations, local corporations, small businesses, and individuals. With over 12 years of big law firm experience in two jurisdictions, we offer our clients affordable, quality legal services in a small-firm environment. We assist our clients in navigating the legal complexities of doing business in the fast-growing, heavily regulated business landscape that Canada represents.

Whether you are looking to set up a new business entity in Canada, acquire a business or part of it, sell an existing business, or form strategic partnerships with other companies in Canada, we have the experience and are available to assist you all along the way.

Recognizing the international nature of businesses in Canada and the inevitability of moving talent across borders to provide expertise where local talent is insufficient or unavailable, Evergreen Solicitors offers top-notch business immigration services to clients across the globe. We assist those who wish to move temporary foreign workers to their Canadian operations or provide technical support and services to Canadian clients.

As temporary foreign workers often relocate with their families, we recognize the need for open work permits for spouses and study permits for school-age children. In that light, we also offer a wide range of personal immigration services to support entire families as they transition to life in Canada.

Whether your concern is accessing affordable but high-quality legal service, or you’re seeking responsive, personable, and client-focused legal representation, Evergreen Solicitors is here to listen and help you achieve the legal and business outcomes that matter most to your success.
