About Vellani Law

Vellani Law Professional Corporation is a small law firm in Hamilton, Ontario, founded by lawyer Inayat Vellani. The firm focuses on real estate, corporate and commercial law, franchise law, and wills and estates, with franchise work as a particular focus: Vellani Law reviews franchise disclosure documents and franchise agreements for clients before they sign. The firm also handles the purchase and sale of residential and commercial properties, private mortgages, and commercial leases, and describes its goal as helping every client, whether a first time home buyer or a real estate investor, understand the process from start to finish.

The team includes lawyers Inayat Vellani and Rajiv Nakka, along with counsel Frank Raso, supported by a team of law clerks and real estate assistants. One of the firm's lawyers previously worked with start-ups and helped grow a family business before turning to law, and now concentrates much of a practice on real estate transactions and business development. On the corporate side, Vellani Law advises on incorporation, articles of amendment, shareholder and partnership agreements, and share transactions, and for estate planning it draws on its background in business, corporate, and tax law to take what it calls a multidisciplinary approach to transferring wealth between generations while minimizing taxes and administration.
