Small Firm.
Big Results.
We help prevent problems before they need to be solved.
A Toronto boutique with clients around the world, Advocan Law LLP focuses on learning our clients’ business so we can help them avoid and even capitalize on legal risk, instead of just responding to it. From seed funding to bet-the-business litigation, we’ve seen it, we’ve done it, and we can help you through it.
Advice
We work to be a part of your business, whether that means attending all-hands meetings, or a weekly coffee & catch-up with the CEO. We make sure we always know what’s really going on so we can help you anticipate risk and take full advantage of new opportunities. Some lawyers answer questions, we help make sure you’re asking the right ones.
Advocacy
Whether you need representation before a court, mediator, tribunal, or government committee, we help you make your case efficiently and effectively. Instead of war-of-attrition style litigation tactics, we focus on expediting cases to increase the chances of an early resolution.
What We Do
Technology
We advise and represent technology companies on every aspect of the product and sales cycle, from making sure that you own the IP your staff creates, to your contracts with clients, vendors, and partners.
Financings
We have decades of experience in start ups and venture capital, and put it to work advising entrepreneurs and investors on various financings, for companies and funds of all sizes.
Commercial Litigation
Our approach to dispute resolution prioritizes results and efficiency. We focus on applications, motions, and appeals – tools that can get results quickly.
