About Kissack & Company

Kissack & Company is a corporate and commercial law firm based in Burlington, Ontario. Joel Kissack founded it in 2009 after 16 years as a senior partner at Davies Ward Phillips & Vineberg (then known as Davies, Ward & Beck), practicing corporate, securities, and competition law. Before that stretch, Kissack spent close to a decade in operations and business development roles at three technology startups. That mix of legal training and hands-on business experience still shapes how the firm's four lawyers work with clients today.

The practice centers on three things. It advises businesses, from startups to multinationals in sectors like software, manufacturing, energy, and financial services, on financing, licensing, market entry, and acquisitions. It also works with Canadian and international charities and not for profits, including churches and cultural and educational associations, on incorporation, CRA registration, and compliance with Ontario's Not for Profit Corporations Act. And it helps business partners and shareholders resolve disputes, such as buyouts and partnership dissolutions, outside of formal litigation.

In the community

  • Kissack & Company publishes practical guidance for charity and not for profit clients, including how Ontario's Not for Profit Corporations Act (ONCA) affects governance and the transition steps it introduced for the sector.
  • The firm's published client work includes helping multiple churches set up a shared national governance structure while each kept its own independence, and helping a charitable organization register with the CRA to provide life skills training to disadvantaged youth.
