Business & Corporate LawBusiness & Corporate LawAbout Sean Gomes
Companies that are buying, selling, raising capital or restructuring turn to Sean Gomes, a partner at Gowling WLG in the Waterloo Region whose work covers both business and technology law. Gomes handles mergers and acquisitions, cross-border deals, debt and equity financings and corporate reorganizations, and also negotiates technology contracts. Inside the firm, the partner belongs to the Tech, Capital Markets and M&A groups.
In 2020, Gomes was part of the Gowling WLG corporate and M&A team that acted for North Inc., the Kitchener-Waterloo smart glasses company once called Thalmic Labs, when Google bought it. Connect Hearing has also relied on Gomes for two clinic purchases: Westside Audiology in Calgary in 2021 and Hearing Excellence, with locations across southern Ontario, in 2024.
Founders get steady attention too, with ongoing advice for startups from incorporation through to financing.
Gomes was called to the Ontario bar in 2003 after an LLB at Osgoode Hall, and a Waterloo undergrad before that. Local ties show up beyond the office: a directorship with KidsAbility Centre for Child Development and a spot on Conestoga College's Small Business Ventures Program Advisory Committee, both listed for 2014. Best Lawyers in Canada has recognized Gomes since 2024 in corporate, M&A and securities law.
