Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming how businesses and organizations create, operate, and compete. However, it also raises emerging legal questions that existing frameworks are only beginning to address. We help Canadian and international clients utilize AI responsibly, advising on the full range of issues that arise when you build, deploy, or rely on these technologies. We guide clients through the evolving regulatory landscape, including Canada’s developing AI governance framework and the privacy, intellectual property, and liability considerations that shape how AI can be used. Whether you are training models, integrating AI into your products, or procuring AI tools from third parties, we help you understand your obligations and manage the risks that come with innovation.
Our work involves advising on AI governance policies, data and model licensing, intellectual property ownership in AI-generated content, and the contractual terms that allocate risk between developers, vendors, and users. We also help clients navigate questions of bias, transparency, and accountability, drawing on a practical understanding of how these systems actually work and where legal exposure tends to arise in an emerging technology. As the law in this area continues to take shape, we keep clients ahead of developments so they can adopt AI with confidence rather than uncertainty.

Cybersecurity and data breaches present key challenges for businesses globally. In an era where a single data breach can threaten a business’ reputation, finances, and customer trust, proactive legal guidance is no longer optional. We help Canadian and international clients navigate the complex web of obligations under PIPEDA, provincial privacy legislation, and sector-specific requirements in areas like finance and health. From developing incident response plans and conducting privacy impact assessments to advising on data governance, vendor contracts, and regulatory compliance, we help you build resilience before a crisis strikes and respond decisively when a cybersecurity incident happens.
When a cybersecurity breach occurs, timing and accuracy of the incident response matter. We guide clients through breach notification obligations to the Office of the Privacy Commissioner and affected individuals, manage relationships with regulators and law enforcement, and coordinate with technical and communications teams to contain the damage. We draw on a practical understanding of both the legal landscape and the technologies at the heart of modern cyber risk.

As data becomes central to how businesses and organizations operate and compete, managing it responsibly is both a legal obligation and a strategic necessity. We help Canadian and international clients meet their responsibilities under PIPEDA, provincial privacy laws, and emerging data regulation. We advise on Data Protection and Cybersecurity Compliance across the full data lifecycle, including helping you understand what information you hold, how it moves through your organization, and where your obligations and risks lie. Whether you are launching a new product, expanding into new markets, or strengthening an existing program, we provide practical guidance grounded in how your business actually works.
Beyond compliance advice, we help clients build the internal frameworks that make good data governance sustainable. This includes the Drafting of Policies and Procedures Manuals for Privacy and Data Governance that give your teams clear, actionable rules to follow, as well as Privacy, Data Ownership, and Data Security Agreements for technology companies that define rights and responsibilities across vendors, partners, and customers. Our goal is to turn privacy from a source of uncertainty into a foundation of trust among stakeholders. We believe that good privacy and data governance is one that protects your business while supporting innovation and growth.

Intellectual Property (IP) is now among the most valuable assets an individual or a business or an organization can possess, and how it is licensed can determine whether the IP generates lasting revenue or exposes a business to unnecessary risk. We help Canadian and international client’s structure, negotiate, and protect licensing arrangements across patents, trademarks, copyright, trade secrets, and technology. Whether you are licensing software, franchising a brand, commercializing a research breakthrough, or entering a cross-border distribution agreement, we draft clear and enforceable terms that align with your commercial objectives while safeguarding your IP rights into a strategic advantage.
We work with startups, established businesses, and rights holders to manage the full lifecycle of a licence—from due diligence and valuation through negotiation, drafting, and ongoing royalty and compliance management. The result is licensing relationships that are not only legally sound but also built to grow with your business.

Technology and innovation move quickly, and the agreements that govern it need to keep pace while protecting what matters most to your business. We help clients structure the relationships at the heart of the digital economy—from the creative work that builds a brand to the infrastructure that runs a company. We advise on Creator and Development Agreements, Rights Clearance for Creative Content, and Influencer Marketing Agreements for businesses building audiences and content, as well as Non-Disclosure Agreements and Intellectual Property Licensing Agreements that safeguard sensitive information and valuable IP. We also handle Copyright and Trademark Registration, helping you secure and formalize the rights underlying your brand and creative assets.
On the enterprise side, we draft and negotiate the contracts that keep technology businesses running. This includes Technology Contracts such as Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) agreements, IT Professional Services Agreements, Cloud Services Agreements, and Software Reseller and Distribution Agreements, along with Master Services Agreements that establish clear, scalable terms for ongoing commercial relationships. Whether you are a startup formalizing your first vendor deal or an established company managing a complex web of partners and platforms, we draft clear, enforceable terms that reduce risk and support growth.
