Who We Are

Look, we've all heard lawyer jokes about billing and vague explanations. We're not about that. You'll get straight answers about costs, timelines, and realistic outcomes. If something's gonna be expensive or complicated, we'll tell you upfront. No surprises on the bill, no legal jargon to confuse you into nodding along.

Our clients appreciate knowing exactly where they stand, even when the news isn't great. That trust is worth more than any extra billable hours we could squeeze out.

We're Toronto-based but we don't think like a local firm. Every client deal touches multiple jurisdictions, different regulations, various cultural expectations. You can't just copy-paste a US contract and hope it works in Singapore - trust us, we've seen that disaster happen.

Our team's lived and worked across different countries. We get the nuances that can make or break an international deal. Plus, having partners in different time zones means someone's always available when you need us.

Legal perfection is great in theory but sometimes you just need something that works. We've walked away from deals that looked good on paper but would've been nightmares to execute. And we've structured agreements that broke some traditional rules but perfectly fit the client's actual needs.

The goal isn't to write the prettiest legal document - it's to get you from point A to point B without headaches. Sometimes that means creative thinking, sometimes it means telling you when to walk away.

We're not transaction processors. Yeah, we close deals, but we also remember that you've got a business to run and probably stress keeping you up at 3am. Most of our clients have been with us for years - some since we opened in 2008.

That continuity means we understand your business model, your risk tolerance, your goals. We're not starting from scratch every time you call. Plus, it's just more fun working with people you actually know and like.

We've turned down cases where the client wanted us to push ethical boundaries. Doesn't happen often, but when it does, we're out. There's always another client, but you can't get back your reputation once it's gone.

This also means we'll tell you when something's legally possible but morally questionable. Your call ultimately, but we're gonna give you our honest take. Sleep at night matters more than any single deal.
