The New Business Corporations Act of Québec

Event participants:

With the recent adoption of the Business Corporations Act, Québec undergoes the first major reform of the Companies Act in 30 years.

If your organization has subsidiaries governed by Québec law or otherwise invests or has activities in Québec, you will want to know how this will affect you and how the new Québec corporate regime differs from its counterparts in the rest of Canada.

Fasken Martineau invites you to an informative seminar on the reform of the Québec Companies Act. Our experts from Québec will cover the following topics:

Overview of Major Changes

We will examine how the bill changes the environment of companies governed by Québec law, identify notable improvements, opportunities and uncertainties and highlight the harmonization efforts with the Canada Business Corporations Act.

Governance and Minority Shareholders' New Tools

The balance between the powers of directors and the new leverage available to minority shareholders will be viewed by some as a long-awaited adjustment, but by others as the loss of an important competitive advantage! Who is right?

Effects on Financing, Tax Planning and Corporate Structures

The new statute opens the door to new opportunities and creates new uncertainties. See how the new Québec regime can help you increase the efficiency of corporate structures.
