Ask HN: I need a lawyer

10 pointshunterjrj4 comments

Our startup is expanding! I need to find a good Canadian law firm that specializes in startups.

Can any Canadian entrepreneurs recommend a firm?

Thanks

I found that working with a law firm is a good way to get passed around. If you treat them like a "firm" they will treat you like a "company." What you need is to develop a relationship with a good lawyer who knows when she needs to refer you to other lawyers if a question is outside of her realm of expertise.

Where in Canada are you?

I know that Jason will reply to this later today but I figured I would do it now.

The company is based in Ontario. Jason lives in Oakville so anything in the GTA would be good.

Where in Canada are you? Good Law firms for non-huge companies tend to be mid-size or smaller, and thus regional.

Please see my reply below, thanks!
