About Elaine

Elaine Chan advises clients on business formation, commercial leasing, corporate reorganization, franchising and licensing, the purchase and sale of businesses, real estate transactions and related notarial work.

Elaine qualified as a solicitor in Hong Kong in 2004 and remains a practising member of the Law Society of Hong Kong, a standing that allows work on Hong Kong matters for clients in Canada and on Canadian matters for clients in Hong Kong. Elaine sits on the board of the Hong Kong Canada Business Association's Winnipeg section and on the policy committee of the Fort Garry Women's Resource Centre, and has been appointed a course reviewer in business law by the Canadian Centre for Professional Legal Education.
