Services offered

Alternative Investments

Bluestar’s family office has a long history of evaluating private businesses, real estate, and other alternative opportunities. Through our advisory services, we help clients understand how alternative assets may fit into their broader financial or estate plans. We provide general education on the characteristics of private-market investments, discuss considerations such as diversification, liquidity, and long-term planning, and share insights into how our family office approaches due diligence and asset evaluation. This service does not provide investment recommendations, product-specific details, or individualized advice. Instead, our role is to offer a high-level framework to help clients make informed discussions with their licensed financial advisors about whether alternative investments are appropriate for their personal circumstances.

Complex Issue Negotiation

Bluestar’s Complex Issue Negotiation service helps business owners and management teams address high-stakes commercial, financial, and operational challenges. Across Canada, organizations rely on us when outcomes carry significant strategic, reputational, or financial implications. Supported by LinkRP Solutions, our specialized negotiation and advisory practice, we help clients clarify objectives, assess risks, understand leverage, and prepare structured negotiation strategies. We work with leadership teams to evaluate competing interests, identify desired outcomes, and move discussions forward constructively and professionally. Whether your organization is facing a difficult partnership dispute, supplier negotiation, contractual impasse, or stakeholder challenge, our cross-Canada team provides practical, experience-driven support at every stage of the negotiation process.

Corporate Law

Bluestar’s Corporate Law team supports privately held and closely held companies across Ontario with practical, business-focused legal advice. We work with incorporators, owners, directors, and management teams to design the right corporate structure, document key relationships, and manage legal risk as the business grows. Our lawyers assist with incorporations and name registrations, shareholder and partnership agreements, corporate governance, commercial contracts, employment issues, and complex transactions such as mergers, acquisitions, restructurings, and fund creation. We also advise on municipal and land-use matters that can affect corporate strategy and real estate holdings. Whether you are launching a new business, bringing in new partners or investors, or restructuring an existing company, our goal is to give you clear, actionable advice that aligns with your commercial objectives and regulatory requirements.

Corporate Structure & Restructure Strategy

Bluestar’s Corporate Structure & Restructure Strategy service helps Canadian organizations evaluate whether their existing structure supports their operational, financial, and long-term objectives. Backed by LinkRP Solutions, we work with leadership teams to assess efficiencies, identify structural challenges, and plan strategic reorganizations. Our advisors help clarify business goals, assess ownership and management alignment, and outline practical steps for restructuring. This may include simplifying corporate entities, preparing for growth or acquisition, adjusting operational hierarchies, or addressing organizational challenges that arise during transitions. We support clients at every stage of the process—helping them understand impacts, manage stakeholder communication, and ensure that changes are implemented smoothly across departments and regions.

Mergers & Acquisitions Consulting

Bluestar’s Mergers & Acquisitions Consulting practice helps Canadian business owners navigate complex transactions with confidence. Backed by LinkRP Solutions, our national advisory and negotiation support division, we work with organizations across the country to evaluate opportunities, assess financial and operational considerations, and structure transactions that align with long-term business objectives. We guide clients through due diligence planning, valuation considerations, negotiation strategy, and readiness preparation. Our advisory approach emphasizes clarity, risk awareness, and strategic alignment; ensuring business owners understand the implications of each stage of a deal. Whether your organization is pursuing growth through acquisition or preparing for an eventual sale, our cross-Canada team provides practical, experience-driven support from initial exploration through closing.

How it works

Speak with a Bluestar Concierge

Tell us what you're trying to do, and share a few high level details. The Concierge will assess your needs internally with the right service professionals and confirm if anything is required before a consultation is booked, saving you time and money.

02

We confirm the next steps

If additional information is needed, the Concierge will follow up with any questions. Then they will confirm the next step, including whether your matter needs a paid consultation or an upfront retainer. You will know all the requirements before anything is scheduled.

03

Your single point of contact

Once we know what you need, the Concierge will coordinate everything for you. They will connect you with the right professional, keep the timeline moving, and handle cross-service follow-up when it helps. If your situation involves more than one professional, you won't have to call around or repeat yourself. the Concierge will keep everything aligned so nothing is missed.
