What We're Really Good At

Look, we don't do everything - nobody can. But what we do, we've done hundreds of times. Here's where we can actually help your business.

Corporate Law & Business Formation

Starting a business or restructuring an existing one? We've filed more incorporation papers than I can count. Whether you're going solo, bringing on partners, or setting up something more complex, we'll figure out what structure actually makes sense for your situation.

  • Federal and provincial incorporation
  • Shareholder agreements that prevent future fights
  • Corporate governance and compliance
  • Mergers, acquisitions, and restructuring

Digital Commerce & E-Commerce Compliance

Selling stuff online comes with a ton of rules that change depending on where your customers are. We keep track of this mess so you don't have to - privacy laws, consumer protection, cross-border sales, payment processing regulations, all of it.

  • Terms of service and privacy policies that work
  • PIPEDA and international privacy compliance
  • Marketplace regulations (Amazon, Shopify, etc.)
  • Digital advertising and marketing law

Contract Drafting & Negotiation

Every business runs on contracts - with customers, vendors, employees, partners. We write contracts that protect you without being so aggressive that they kill the deal. And when you're on the receiving end, we'll tell you what's normal and what's concerning.

  • Vendor and supplier agreements
  • Employment contracts and NDAs
  • Service level agreements (SLAs)
  • Partnership and joint venture agreements

Intellectual Property Protection

Your brand, your products, your content - that's what makes your business unique. We help lock down trademarks, protect your copyrights, and make sure employees aren't walking out the door with your trade secrets. Prevention beats litigation every single time.

  • Trademark registration and monitoring
  • Copyright registration and enforcement
  • Trade secret protection strategies
  • IP licensing and assignment agreements
Protect Your IP

Regulatory Compliance Advisory

Regulations are constantly shifting, especially in digital business. We keep an eye on what's coming down the pipe and help you stay ahead of it. Regular compliance audits mean fewer surprises and better sleep at night.

  • Industry-specific regulatory guidance
  • Compliance program development
  • Regular compliance audits and reviews
  • Policy and procedure documentation
Stay Compliant

Dispute Resolution & Mediation

Sometimes things go sideways with clients, partners, or vendors. Court is expensive and takes forever - we prefer finding solutions that work for everyone. When that's not possible, we're ready to protect your interests through litigation.

  • Pre-litigation negotiation and settlement
  • Commercial mediation services
  • Arbitration representation
  • Contract dispute resolution

The Numbers Tell Part of the Story

We've been doing this long enough to have some stats worth sharing. But honestly, what matters more is whether we're the right fit for your specific needs.

Real Problems We've Solved

Here's a few examples of situations we've handled. Your situation's probably different, but it'll give you an idea of how we work.

E-Commerce Compliance

Cross-Border Sales Headache

A Toronto-based clothing retailer wanted to expand into the US market but was totally confused about tax collection, shipping regulations, and consumer protection laws. We mapped out exactly what they needed to do in each state they were targeting.

Result: Compliant expansion into 15 states within 6 months, zero regulatory issues.

Discuss Your Expansion
Intellectual Property

Trademark Dispute Avoided

A tech startup was about to launch under a name that would've gotten them sued within a month. We caught it during our trademark search, helped them rebrand early, and secured protection for their new name before launch day.

Result: Avoided costly litigation and rebranding. Saved an estimated $150K+ in legal fees and lost marketing spend.

Protect Your Brand
Corporate Formation

Partnership Structure Done Right

Three co-founders starting a SaaS company - all friends, all excited, none of them thinking about what happens if someone wants out. We structured their shareholder agreement to handle exits, new investors, and decision-making clearly.

Result: When one founder left 18 months later, the transition was smooth. No drama, no lawsuits, still friends.

Structure Your Business
Contract Negotiation

Vendor Contract Overhaul

A medium-sized retailer was using the same vendor contracts they'd started with 8 years ago. Things had changed - their business, their vendors, the market. We rewrote everything to reflect current reality and protect them properly.

Result: Better pricing terms, clearer liability provisions, and way less stress when supply chain issues hit.

Review Your Contracts
Dispute Resolution

Client Dispute Mediation

A web development agency had a client refusing to pay for completed work - classic scope creep situation where both sides felt they were right. We mediated a settlement that got the agency paid and kept the relationship intact.

Result: Full payment received within 30 days. Client became a referral source later that year.

Resolve Your Issue
Regulatory Compliance

Privacy Law Update Implementation

When privacy laws got stricter, a subscription box service realized their data handling practices were outdated. We audited everything, updated their policies, retrained their team, and set up ongoing compliance monitoring.

Result: Fully compliant before enforcement kicked in. Avoided potential fines and built customer trust.

Who You'll Actually Be Working With

We're not one of those huge firms where you meet a partner once and then deal with junior associates forever. Our team is small on purpose - you get experienced lawyers who know your file.

Rebecca Morrison

Rebecca Morrison

Managing Partner

Rebecca founded Luminex Signal after spending 8 years at a big corporate firm. She got tired of billing by the minute and wanted to actually help businesses grow. Corporate law and digital commerce are her thing.

David Huang

David Huang

Senior Associate

David handles most of our IP work and contract negotiations. He's also the guy who stays on top of every regulatory change - seriously, he reads this stuff for fun. Tech background before law school, which helps a lot with digital clients.

Alison Peters

Alison Peters

Associate Lawyer

Alison joined us two years ago and focuses on e-commerce compliance and dispute resolution. She's got this knack for explaining complicated regulations in ways that actually make sense. Clients love working with her.

Thomas Kowalski

Thomas Kowalski

Corporate Counsel

Thomas specializes in business formation and corporate restructuring. He spent years doing M&A work before joining us, so he's seen every possible way to structure a deal. Super detail-oriented, which you want in this area.

Why Work With Us Instead of Someone Else?

Fair question. Toronto's got tons of law firms, and plenty of them are good at what they do. Here's what makes us different - and whether it matters to you is totally up to you.

We Actually Specialize

We're not trying to be everything to everyone. Corporate law and digital commerce - that's it. We're not gonna take your family law case or your real estate closing. Specialization means we've seen your situation before.

Fixed Fees When Possible

Hourly billing sucks - for you and honestly for us too. For a lot of what we do (incorporations, contract reviews, trademark applications), we can give you a fixed price upfront. No surprises on the invoice.

Same-Day Response Guarantee

We all hate waiting for lawyers to get back to us. Email us, call us, message us - we'll respond the same business day. Even if it's just to say "got your message, need until tomorrow to review it properly."

Plain English Communication

Legal jargon exists for a reason in documents, but when we're talking to you? Regular words. If you don't understand something we've said, that's on us to explain it better.
