Wine Sector

We are excited about the potential in our region’s wine industry, a new and exciting sector that continues its impressive growth throughout Atlantic Canada. We are committed to learning more about every step that goes into bringing grapes from bud to bottle, so that we may provide our local wine makers with the best advice to match their business objectives. We understand local producers have unique legal needs, including issues such as grape supply contracts, winery location in agricultural zones and exporting wine across provincial boundaries. In addition, our team can:

•  Form tax-friendly business structures
•  Assist with development permit appeals
•  Provide estate, tax and succession planning
•  Apply for government incentives
•  Advise on commercial host liability
•  Provide branding, trademark and other intellectual property advice
•  Advise on corporate governance

We are pleased to provide information on government funding available for agricultural businesses seeking advice on succession planning.
