We bring deep market skills gained at major global and boutique business law firms to service clients in the Toronto to Windsor corridor and beyond.
From ideation and beyond, we work closely with founders to help devise the optimal structure and legal strategy to set their business up for success from day one. For example, if a founder is looking to potentially raise funds from investors in the future, then we would structure the startup so that it is suited for investment and potential acquirers. This includes ensuring protection of core assets and mechanisms to maintain control so that key business decisions can be made when needed.
And to help founders focus on building their business with confidence, we offer flat rate options on our services for startups, including a flat rate package with the legal documents and frameworks startups need to get started right away.
We help emerging companies and established businesses scale at lightning speed and navigate day-to-day legal matters as they arise. This includes supporting all aspects of venture financings, purchase and sale transactions, drafting, reviewing and negotiating employment, contractor and commercial agreements, equity incentive plans, restructurings, maintaining minute books, annual corporate maintenance and more.
We also offer flat rate options on our services for emerging companies and established businesses, in addition to a cost-effective monthly retainer option for businesses seeking the ongoing support of in-house counsel without the full-time expense.
