Procido LLP lawyers have worked their way through the process of becoming equity Partners at national law firms. Our lawyers have led national groups within national law firms. We have spent time in Toronto. We were you – we understand you. We’re happy to act as local counsel, particularly in Saskatchewan, which is a jurisdiction with only one national law firm office. The most common service provided to national law firms is acting as local counsel in Saskatchewan on a purchase, sale, or reorganization transaction – which we are happy to assist with. We also review and localize any type of contract or agreement to comply with Saskatchewan law.
