Common Questions

We get asked these pretty regularly. If your question isn't here, just shoot us a message or give us a call - we're happy to chat about your specific situation.

Honestly, it depends on what you need. We're not gonna give you a one-size-fits-all answer because that wouldn't be accurate. Some clients need ongoing counsel and we work on a retainer basis. Others have specific projects where we quote a flat fee. Complex litigation or M&A deals are usually hourly. What we can promise is we'll be upfront about costs in our initial consultation, no surprises down the road. We've found that clients appreciate knowing what they're getting into financially before we start.

You can totally incorporate yourself - the forms aren't rocket science. But here's the thing: the paperwork is the easy part. What trips people up is choosing the wrong structure, missing tax optimization opportunities, or setting up shareholder agreements that cause problems later. We've seen businesses spend way more fixing structural issues down the road than they would've spent getting it right from the start. If it's just you and you're staying small, DIY might be fine. But if you've got partners, investors, or growth plans, getting proper legal advice upfront saves headaches later.

We're pretty responsive - usually same-day for existing clients, definitely within 24 hours. If something's actually urgent (like, you've got a deadline or a crisis), let us know and we'll prioritize it. We've had clients call us on Friday afternoon with urgent issues and we've worked through the weekend to sort things out. That said, "urgent" doesn't mean "poor planning on your part," so the more notice you can give us, the better work we can do for you. But yeah, when stuff hits the fan, we're there.

We don't do the big law firm thing where you're paying for fancy offices and associates who bill you for basic research. Our approach is more practical - we focus on tech and corporate clients, so we actually understand your business models and challenges. We also don't talk down to clients or hide behind legal jargon. You'll understand what's happening with your case and why we're recommending certain strategies. Plus, we're selective about the cases we take - if we don't think we can get you a good outcome, we'll tell you instead of just taking your money.

Yeah, we handle cross-border stuff regularly. A lot of our tech clients have operations or customers in both countries, so we're used to dealing with the differences in law between Canadian and US jurisdictions. For complex US matters, we partner with firms down there that we trust. We can coordinate everything so you're not dealing with multiple law firms independently. Data privacy is a big one here too - transferring data across borders has specific requirements we help clients navigate without getting tripped up by regulations.

Just reach out - call, email, or fill out the contact form on our site. We'll set up an initial consultation (no charge for that) where we'll talk through what's going on with your business or legal issue. We'll ask questions, you'll ask questions, and we'll figure out together whether we're a good fit. If we can help, we'll outline what that looks like - scope of work, timeline, costs, all that. If we're not the right firm for your specific needs, we'll try to point you toward someone who is. No pressure, no hard sell - just an honest conversation about your situation.

We work with both. Startups are actually a big part of our practice - we get that you're watching every dollar and need practical advice that won't bankrupt you before you even launch. We've structured deals specifically for early-stage companies where costs are manageable and scale as you grow. That said, we also represent established enterprises dealing with complex transactions, regulatory compliance, and all that jazz. The approach is different depending on where you're at as a business, and we adjust accordingly. Whether you're pre-revenue or doing eight figures annually, if you need solid corporate or tech law advice, we can probably help.

Why Work With Us?

There are a lot of law firms out there, so why should you choose us? Here's the honest answer - we're not trying to be everything to everyone. We focus on corporate and tech law because that's what we're genuinely good at and what we find interesting.

Specialized Expertise

We don't dabble in family law or criminal defense. Corporate governance, tech contracts, IP protection, M&A - that's our wheelhouse and we know it inside out.

Clear Communication

We'll explain things in normal language. You'll actually understand what's happening and why, not just get buried in legal terminology that sounds impressive but means nothing to you.

Practical Solutions

We're not here to create problems or make things more complicated. Our job is to find workable solutions that protect your interests without creating unnecessary friction.

Business-Minded Approach

We understand that legal advice needs to make business sense too. We're thinking about your bottom line and growth trajectory, not just legal technicalities.
