better legal services

Start-up support

Incorporation, employment, commercial agreements, raising capital — I take care of the fine legal bits, for both for- and non-profits.

Deal with disputes

Handling conflicts of interest. Dealing with difficult shareholders or members. Preparing strongly worded letters. We’ll make sure legal problems are addressed effectively. 

Go-public support 

Is your company considering a leap to the public markets? I’ll handle the roadmap, the legal paper, and setting your executive team up for success.

Better engagements 

Don’t like hourly rates? Me neither.
Flat-fee engagements and creative fee models mean better aligned expectations and less surprises on invoices.

get legal peace of mind

I’m an experienced lawyer and business advisor. My advice is practical and hands on. I identify the risks and tell you how likely they are to happen. I then prepare the right legal and policy documents to make sure you’re protected.

My business law services are backed up by INK LLP, a Vancouver boutique that specializes in high-growth startups.
