Look, protecting your ideas in multiple jurisdictions isn't just filing paperwork. We've been through countless patent prosecutions across borders and know exactly where things can go sideways.

Blockchain & Cryptocurrency Regulation

Crypto's still the wild west, honestly. Regulators are scrambling to keep up, and that's where we come in.

The rules are changing fast, but we're watching every move so you don't have to.

Technology Licensing & Contract Negotiation

Bad contracts kill good tech deals every day. We've seen it all - ambiguous IP clauses, one-sided termination rights, liability caps that don't protect anyone. Our team drafts and negotiates agreements that actually make sense and hold up when things get contentious. SaaS, enterprise software, API licenses - we speak your language.

Data Privacy & Cybersecurity Law

Data breaches aren't an 'if' anymore, they're a 'when.' We help companies build privacy programs that actually work under PIPEDA, GDPR, and the patchwork of US state laws. From incident response plans to cross-border data transfer mechanisms, we've been through it enough times to know what regulators care about and what's just noise.
