Legal Opinions in Corporate and Commercial Matters
A legal opinion is a formal, written statement provided by legal counsel to a client, another party to a transaction, or a third party (such as a lender, investor, or regulatory authority). It sets out the lawyer’s conclusions regarding specific legal matters after conducting appropriate due diligence and legal analysis
At Jahanshahi Law Firm, we provide detailed, well-reasoned corporate legal opinions to support a wide range of commercial transactions and regulatory requirements. Our legal opinions are relied upon by clients, lenders, regulatory bodies, and counterparties in complex business dealings where certainty and legal assurance are essential. We routinely issue opinions on matters related to corporate authority, enforceability of agreements, share and asset transactions, and compliance with statutory and regulatory frameworks across multiple industries.
We have specific experience providing legal opinions in highly regulated and cross-border commercial contexts, including import and export compliance, product labelling standards, and manufacturing and distribution laws. Whether a transaction involves the sale of goods internationally, the setup of a cross-border supply chain, or the negotiation of government contracts, we ensure that the legal elements are properly vetted and clearly articulated through formal legal opinions.
Our opinions are often requested in connection with lending arrangements, mergers and acquisitions, regulatory compliance confirmations, corporate reorganizations, and other high-value transactions. We apply the same attention to detail whether we are issuing a standalone opinion or one that forms part of a broader legal due diligence exercise. With experience across corporate, commercial, regulatory, and tax law, we provide opinions that are not only technically sound but also practically aligned with the needs of businesses, financial institutions, and government stakeholders.

Corporate reorganizations, including section 85 rollovers, estate freezes, and intercompany share transfers.
Regulatory compliance, particularly for businesses engaged in import/export, labelling, product manufacturing, and supply chain distribution.
Cross-border transactions, where counterparties in different jurisdictions require assurance on the capacity, structure, or legal standing of an Ontario or Canadian entity.
Each opinion we provide is tailored to the specific needs of the transaction or inquiry. We begin by clarifying the scope and intended use of the opinion, then conduct a detailed review of all relevant corporate records, agreements, statutes, and regulatory guidelines. We work closely with your accountants, tax advisors, and internal legal teams to ensure that our opinion is not only legally accurate but commercially and strategically aligned with your business objectives.
