Privacy and Governance Law

Governance

Our lawyers have extensive experience in advising private companies, non-profit corporations, and government agency boards of directors on all aspects of corporate governance, including by-law preparation, policy development and human rights policies and procedures.

Our business lawyers have extensive experience in dealing with contentious governance issues including how boards of directors can proactively deal with shareholder or member issues and disputes, and also how boards can best avoid difficult and potentially litigious situations.

Privacy

Our governance experience also extends to advising companies on privacy policies to ensure that your company is fully compliant with all applicable privacy legislation.

In the municipal sector, we have substantial experience advising municipalities, municipal boards, health units and other public sector agencies on their unique privacy responsibilities, including statutory obligations under the Municipal Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act.

Lerners LLP has the legal professionals to ensure your organization, whether public or private, has the advice necessary to comply with their privacy obligations and to develop privacy policies that will prevent privacy problems for your organization.
