Our Story & Who We Are

We've been helping businesses navigate the complexities of international law for years - here's how we got started and where we're headed.

How We Got Here

Every firm's got a beginning - ours just happens to involve a lot of late nights, strong coffee, and a genuine passion for cross-border deals.

2008

The Beginning

Started in a modest office with just three lawyers who believed Toronto needed a different kind of international law practice. We weren't satisfied with the old-school approach - clients deserved better communication and more practical solutions.

Breaking Ground

Handled our first major cross-border M&A deal that got industry attention. It wasn't easy - timezone differences, regulatory hurdles, and cultural nuances tested us. But we pulled it off, and word spread fast.

2017

Going Global

Expanded our network with strategic partnerships across Europe and Asia. Realized we couldn't do everything alone - building relationships with reliable counsel in key markets made all the difference for our clients.

Tech Integration

Invested heavily in legal tech to streamline our processes. Clients expect speed without sacrificing quality, so we built systems that let us respond faster while keeping our attention on the details that matter.

Today & Tomorrow

Now we're a team of 25+ professionals handling complex international matters daily. We've kept that startup mentality though - still accessible, still innovative, and still genuinely excited about solving tough legal challenges for our clients.

What We Stand For

These aren't just words on a wall - they're the principles that guide how we work with clients every single day.

Global Mindset

We think beyond borders because your business doesn't stop at one country's edge.

Integrity First

We won't cut corners or tell you what you want to hear - just what you need to know.

Precision

Details matter in international law. One missed clause can cost millions, so we sweat the small stuff.

Clear Communication

Legal jargon has its place, but you shouldn't need a translator to understand your own lawyer.

Innovation

We embrace new tech and fresh approaches that make legal work faster and smarter.

Certifications & Affiliations

We're proud members of these professional organizations and maintain certifications that keep us at the top of our game.
