Practice for Sale

Law practice for sale

What if at five-minutes from the office you could; swim in the sea, walk on the beach, play golf, fish for salmon, cross-country ski or ride a bike every morning before heading to the office?

And for those who dream of establishing a family away from the hustle and bustle of the big city, how about having access to an English or French school and living in a village of 2,500 people, nestled between the mountains and the sea, on an internationally renowned island recognized for its irresistible natural attractions.

How about heading to the village wharf to buy your lobster and snow crab directly from the fisherman, reside five minutes from a National Park and enjoy the Celtic Colours International Music Festival.

The law practice:

In business for 28 years, this firm boasts an enviable reputation and is recognized nationally in the matter of linguistic rights of Francophone Canadians and Acadian communities. Other privileged fields are real estate law for about 50%, corporate and commercial law and the remainder is divided between criminal and family law as well as wills and estates.

The office, equipped with fiber-op internet access and electronic client files, facilitates a hassle-free transition, especially if you are interested in leasing the existing office. Although the sale comes unmanned, a transition period is possible and desirable. Although the court is 150 km away, most appearances are done by telephone, except for trials.

The clientele served is French and English-speaking and come from a radius of at least 100 km. The potential for expansion in immigration and taxation, to name these two areas, is quite great as the region has hundreds of commercial fishermen and an influx of immigration seekers, and many tourists during the summer period.

In addition, over the past few years, the practice has been very busy without the need to advertise outside the area, and within two years the only other lawyer in the area is also considering retirement.

Having a knowledge of French would be an asset, but not compulsory. If this life style and purchasing this rural practice established since 1993 is of interest to you, please contact
