About

I am a corporate and venture financing lawyer and advise founders as they build and scale their companies, from establishing a business to raising seed and Series A capital. My practice focuses on early-stage technology businesses. I help founders work through incorporation, ownership arrangements, founder agreements and employee equity, with an emphasis on putting a clear, workable structure in place before the company grows. On the financing side, I advise on SAFEs, convertible instruments and priced rounds. I review term sheets, negotiate investor rights and help clients understand how board provisions, dilution and future financing obligations affect their long-term plans. I also support Canadian companies preparing for US investment, coordinating with local counsel when a transaction crosses borders. I take time to understand the business behind the documents and keep founders informed about the decisions that matter, so legal work supports the next stage rather than slowing it down.
