Saul B. Simmonds KC

Expert guidance through a complex business sale

Our family-owned manufacturing business in Winnipeg had been operating for decades, and when we decided to sell, the tax implications were daunting. We engaged Saul Simmonds based on his reputation and 19 years of focused tax law experience at Simmonds & Associates. From our first meeting, his deep knowledge was evident. He didn't just react to our plans; he proactively structured the transaction to minimize our tax exposure, explaining the nuances of capital gains and corporate reorganization in a way we could actually understand. His mantra of making life 'less taxing' was truly lived out. He navigated negotiations with the buyer's counsel expertly, ensuring our interests were protected beyond just the sale price. The process was complex, but with Saul's guidance, we felt secure. If there was one minor critique, it would be that during the final week, response times to emails stretched to a full business day, which added a bit of stress during a critical phase. However, this is a small note on an otherwise outstanding service. For anyone in Manitoba facing a significant transaction with tax consequences, I would not hesitate to recommend Saul B. Simmonds KC.
