We've been in the trenches with clients across Canada, handling everything from high-stakes M&A deals to cutting-edge crypto disputes. Here's a peek at what we've accomplished - names changed to protect confidentiality, of course.
Since 2020

Watch Story
A competitor claimed our client's machine learning algorithm violated their patent. We dug into the technical specs and proved their patent was way too broad and shouldn't have been granted in the first place.
Result:
Case dismissed with prejudice. Client avoided $12M+ in potential damages and legal fees.
When Canada started cracking down on digital asset platforms, this NFT marketplace needed to get compliant fast. We built them a complete regulatory framework from scratch - KYC procedures, AML policies, the whole nine yards.
Outcome:

View Case
A growing tech company had subsidiaries scattered across Canada, the US, and Europe - total organizational mess. We consolidated everything under a holding company structure that actually made sense.
Benefits:
Two 50/50 partners in a software company couldn't agree on anything anymore. Rather than let it drag through court for years, we facilitated a buyout agreement and mediation that wrapped up in 6 weeks.
Resolution:
Both parties satisfied. Company continued operations without disruption. Saved estimated $200K in litigation costs.
