Managing a public or private company involves a wide range of corporate, regulatory and administrative responsibilities. From board governance and regulatory filings to shareholder communications and annual meetings, these obligations require experience, attention to detail and an understanding of the capital markets.
We provide comprehensive corporate governance, regulatory compliance and issuer services to companies across Canada and international markets. We work alongside boards of directors, executives, legal counsel, auditors and transfer agents to support the day-to-day requirements of corporate operations, as well as significant transactions and corporate events.
Our approach combines industry experience with practical, hands-on support, allowing management teams to focus on their businesses while maintaining effective governance and regulatory compliance.
Strong corporate governance is fundamental to the effective operation of a public company. UPLA provides outsourced corporate secretarial and governance services tailored to the needs of public and private issuers.
We assist with board and committee administration, preparation of resolutions and meeting minutes, corporate record maintenance, governance policies, board composition, committee mandates and equity incentive plans.
Whether acting as an ongoing corporate secretarial resource or providing support for specific corporate matters, our team brings the experience and continuity needed to support effective board oversight and corporate decision-making.
Public companies operate within an evolving regulatory environment, with ongoing obligations to stock exchanges, securities regulators and other market participants.
UPLA assists issuers in managing Canadian and U.S. regulatory filings and continuous disclosure requirements, including SEDAR+, SEDI, EDGAR and OTC Markets-related reporting and administration.
Our services include filing coordination, insider reporting, regulatory calendars, exchange correspondence, corporate action notifications and support with ongoing reporting obligations.
We work closely with management and external advisors to help companies stay organized, meet important deadlines and navigate their regulatory responsibilities.
Clear, timely and consistent corporate communications are essential to maintaining confidence among shareholders and market participants.
UPLA assists issuers with the coordination of corporate announcements, regulatory news releases, shareholder notices, website updates, investor communications and other disclosure-related activities.
Working with management and external communications providers, we help companies manage the administrative and regulatory aspects of communicating with shareholders and the broader investment community.
Corporate transactions require careful coordination among management, directors, legal counsel, regulators and service providers.
UPLA assists issuers with the corporate and administrative requirements associated with financings, mergers and acquisitions, qualifying transactions, reorganizations, share consolidations, name changes and other significant corporate events.
Our role includes coordinating documentation, board and shareholder approvals, regulatory submissions, shareholder communications and transaction-related timelines.
We work alongside the issuer's professional advisors to help ensure the many components of a transaction are properly organized and efficiently managed.
Effective shareholder administration is an important part of maintaining accurate corporate records and facilitating securities transactions.
UPLA provides administrative support for shareholder registers, private company securities records, shareholder communications, share issuances, transfers, corporate actions and related documentation.
We also work with transfer agents, brokers and other market participants to coordinate share consolidations, name changes, distributions and other securities-related events.
Our experience in transfer agency operations and securities administration provides issuers with practical support in navigating the operational requirements of both public and private company ownership.
Not every company requires a full-time corporate secretary or dedicated internal compliance department. However, every issuer benefits from experienced professionals who understand the responsibilities and complexities of corporate administration.
We offer flexible support arrangements, ranging from individual projects and periodic assistance to comprehensive ongoing corporate governance and issuer services.
Our team becomes an extension of your company's existing resources, providing continuity, specialized expertise and responsive support as your requirements evolve.
Whether your company requires ongoing corporate secretarial support, assistance with regulatory obligations or help managing a significant corporate event, UPLA is here to help.
