Move fast without breaking what matters.
Technology moves at the speed of code. Legal moves at the speed of risk. We help Canadian founders ship product, sign customers and raise capital — with a legal foundation built to survive scale.
The reality for Canadian tech companies
Most startups don't discover their legal exposure until due diligence.
Founders move fast — borrowed templates, missing IP assignments, vesting that was never documented, customer contracts a sales rep signed without review. None of it matters until an investor's lawyer opens the data room.
We have seen rounds delayed for months — and acquisitions repriced or killed — because of legal foundations that were never built properly. The companies that close cleanly are the ones that treated legal as infrastructure from day one.
"You don't get to fix the legal problems after the term sheet. You fix them before — or you live with them."
What we handle
From first commit to exit — built for technology companies.
Incorporation & Founder Structure
Federal or provincial incorporation, founder vesting, share structure and IP assignment — done right from day one.
SaaS & Customer Contracts
MSAs, terms of service, DPAs and order forms that scale with enterprise customers.
Shareholder & SAFE Agreements
Founder agreements, shareholder agreements, SAFEs and convertible notes — drafted to protect your cap table.
IP Assignment & Protection
Employee and contractor IP assignment, open-source review, trademark filing — so your investor finds clean ownership.
Financing Rounds
Seed and Series A term sheets, investor negotiations, closing documents and post-close compliance.
Privacy & Compliance
PIPEDA, Quebec Law 25, GDPR and the Canadian privacy framework — privacy policies and data handling that hold up.
The difference
We don't just paper deals. We build legal infrastructure.
Most startup lawyers fill in templates. We design the legal architecture of your company — the structure that determines whether you can hire, raise, sell or pivot without friction. That is the difference between paperwork and counsel.
We work with Canadian technology companies from incorporation through Series A and beyond. We understand how a decision made at formation affects your option pool at Series B, and how a customer contract signed today shapes your enterprise pipeline tomorrow.
- A clean cap table investors can underwrite without questions
- Customer contracts that close enterprise deals — and survive renewal
- IP ownership that is documented, assigned and defensible
- Shareholder agreements that prevent founder disputes before they start
- A legal foundation that compounds value, instead of bleeding it
