Venture Capital and Emerging Growth

Ontario's innovation economy is booming, and our team is at the center of it—advising high-growth startups across tech, cleantech, health tech, fintech, and advanced manufacturing.

We guide founders from day one: choosing the right structure (OBCA, CBCA, or Delaware flip), building founder agreements that prevent future disputes, and designing cap tables that attract top investors. We handle everything entrepreneurs need—IP strategy, employment contracts, customer agreements, and investor negotiations—with clear, startup-friendly advice and pricing. Our Kickstart Program gives early-stage companies free access to legal checkups, template packs, and workshops so you spot risks before they become problems.

With ties to MaRS, Communitech, Velocity, Invest Ottawa, and Innovation Factory, we don't just give legal advice—we open doors to funding, talent, and customers.

Our technology law group delivers sharp, industry-focused counsel on building, protecting, and scaling tech assets. From AI patents and data licensing to SaaS contracts and open-source compliance, we protect your edge while helping you move fast. Backed by the full strength of our corporate, tax, and litigation teams, we offer big-firm firepower with boutique speed and focus.
