Welcome to our Website

Clarks was founded on January 1, 1999 by my brothers, Charles and Robert, and me, John Clark. Clarks proudly carries on the legacy of our father, Charles J. Clark, Q.C., who served the Windsor-Essex community for over 50 years.

The core of our practice is business law. Together, the partners, associates and affiliates of Clarks have over 150 years of experience in providing legal advice and service to small and medium sized owner-managed businesses at each stage of development. We will assist you in establishing your governance structure and organization, capitalizing your business, and establishing banking and financing arrangements. Later, we will assist with commercial issues such as contracts, leasing and taxes, corporate filings and the maintenance of your minute books. We will also advise and assist in structuring corporate changes brought about through merger or corporate share purchases. Ultimately, we will provide advice and service to you in connection with business succession - a sale to third parties, perhaps, or in connection with transfer to family members or to your management group.

At Clarks, we consider estate planning to be part of an effective business structure. We help you determine how and where and to whom the fruits of your success will be preserved, enhanced and ultimately passed through effective personal and estate planning.

As detailed on this site, we supplement our business and estate planning advisory and service practice by providing legal services in real estate, mortgaging, civil and commercial litigation, estate and trust administration, income tax appeals, condominium management, and charities and not for profit corporate governance and organization.

Capitalizing on our vast experience, skill and accumulated knowledge, we are uniquely positioned to advise and direct you in connection with the challenges you face today, and through effective business and personal succession planning and advice, the challenges you will face tomorrow.

We welcome you to have a look at our site - to learn more about us - and how we may assist you in your business and personal legal needs.
