This primer provides non-Canadians with an introduction to the laws and regulations that affect the conduct of business in Canada and, in particular, in the province of Ontario. In some cases, this primer also identifies issues in the provinces of Alberta and British Columbia. Because of Canada’s federal structure, the authority to make laws and regulations is divided between the federal and provincial governments by the Canadian Constitution although, in some areas of divided authority, both federal and provincial laws may apply.

But many laws still make it difficult for women to fully participate in economic life - whether by getting jobs or starting businesses. Discriminatory rules bar women from certain jobs, restrict access to capital for women-owned firms and limit women’s capacity to make legal decisions. Gender differences in laws affect both developing and developed economies, and women in all regions.

Virtually every business of any size can now internationally source or distribute goods, services, or intellectual property. But only the largest companies have the resources and experience to overcome differences in legal and regulatory regimes, cultural norms, language problems, and currency issues on their own. So smaller companies often turn to an international joint venture (IJV). We examine the advantages and disadvantages of IJVs, including key contract provisions and practical aspects of their structure and operation, as well as common mistakes to avoid.
