"Real legal work isn't about winning arguments—it's about building bridges across borders and making sure commerce flows without the headaches."

— Our Philosophy Since Day One

Who We Actually Are

Look, we're not gonna pretend we're some massive international firm with offices in twenty countries. We're a tight-knit team in Toronto that's carved out a niche doing corporate law and international trade work—and honestly, we've gotten pretty damn good at it.

How We Got Here

2008

The Beginning

Started with three lawyers, one conference room, and way too much coffee. We saw a gap in the market for firms that actually understood both Canadian corporate structures and international trade regs without charging Silicon Valley rates.

2013

Growing Pains

Moved to Bay Street and doubled our team. Had our first major cross-border M&A deal that kept us up for what felt like three months straight. That's when we realized we'd actually built something solid here.

2017

Expanding Expertise

Brought on our IP practice after seeing too many clients get burned by patent trolls and trademark disputes. Also started getting calls from companies in sectors we'd never touched before—turned out our reputation was spreading.

2021

Pandemic Pivot

Like everyone else, we went remote. Unlike a lot of firms, we stayed semi-remote because it actually works better for international clients. Plus our lawyers appreciated not commuting through Toronto winters every single day.

2025

Where We're At

Seventeen years in, we've handled deals across four continents, built a team we're genuinely proud of, and somehow maintained the collegial atmosphere we started with. Still drinking too much coffee though.

What Actually Drives Us

Straight Talk

We don't hide behind legal jargon when plain English will do. You're paying for advice, not a vocabulary lesson. If something's complicated, we'll explain it until it makes sense—that's literally our job.

Practical Solutions

There's always a textbook answer and then there's what actually works in the real world. We've been around long enough to know the difference and we're not afraid to get creative when the situation calls for it.

Your Corner

When things get messy (and in business, they sometimes do), you want lawyers who've got your back without reservation. We take that responsibility seriously—your success is how we measure ours.

Toronto Office View

Why Toronto Works for Global Business

People sometimes ask why we're based here instead of New York or London. Simple answer: Toronto's one of the most multicultural cities on the planet, we're in a timezone that works for both European and Asian calls (if you don't mind early mornings or late nights), and Canada's got trade agreements that open doors.

Plus, we've built relationships with regulatory folks, customs officials, and other firms across the country. That local knowledge matters when you're trying to move a deal forward and hit a snag.

We're not saying Toronto's perfect—the winters are brutal and construction season never ends—but for what our clients need, it's pretty much ideal.
