FAQ

Clear answers before you book

Common questions about timing, scope, information handling, and how we create an engagement in Ontario, Canada.

0 shown

Note: General information only. A solicitor-client relationship typically starts after conflicts checks and a written retainer/engagement.

Ideally before you exchange drafts, share sensitive information, or start delivering work. Early legal input can prevent misaligned scope, payment disputes, and IP ownership surprises.

  • Pre-revenue founders: start with founder/contractor basics and a simple operating rhythm.
  • Before signing: review any client, vendor, or platform terms that affect liability, termination, and IP.
  • Before hiring: add contractor/employee templates + confidentiality and IP assignment language.
