Breton Gaunt

Breton Gaunt is a business lawyer who brings first-hand experience as a former business owner to every file he works on. He understands the pressures involved in launching, growing, and transitioning a company, and he works closely with clients to help them protect their interests while staying mindful of timelines and budgets.

His practice includes advising on share and asset purchases and sales, structuring new corporations and partnerships, and drafting and negotiating unanimous shareholder agreements and a wide range of commercial contracts. Breton’s clients range from closely held private companies to publicly traded organizations across technology, healthcare, natural resources, and construction. This broad perspective helps him offer guidance that is both practical and tailored to each business’s stage of growth.

Clients often come to Breton with the same core question: how do they manage risk without slowing momentum. He provides clear, actionable advice to help them move forward confidently, whether they are navigating a start-up phase, preparing for a sale, or facing complex operational decisions.

For Breton, the best part of his work is seeing clients achieve the outcomes they’ve been working toward. Helping someone start a new venture, complete a successful transaction, or resolve a challenging issue is what motivates him every day.
