About Onley Law

Onley Law is a business and corporate law firm based in downtown Oshawa, Ontario, with an office inside the Spark Centre business accelerator on Simcoe Street. Founder Robert Onley was called to the Ontario Bar in 2013 after earning a J.D. from the University of Windsor Faculty of Law. An earlier career included time at Global Affairs Canada, a corporate litigation practice, and an in house role at Payments Canada, before founding NotaryPro Technologies in 2018, an online notarization company that appeared on CBC's Dragons' Den in January 2025.

The firm works with growing businesses that have moved past the startup stage but are not yet ready for a full time general counsel. It offers fractional general counsel on a monthly retainer, fixed fee contract and policy reviews, incorporations and business structuring, and trademark work, and it bills on fixed fees rather than by the hour. An associate lawyer at the firm is a registered Canadian trademark agent, and the team also takes on business purchase and sale work, including due diligence and share or asset purchase agreements.

In the community

  • Onley Law's office operates from inside the Spark Centre, a regional innovation centre that supports technology and other startups across Durham Region and beyond, placing the firm alongside the kind of growing companies it serves.
  • The firm publishes a blog of guides for Canadian founders and business owners, including a Fractional General Counsel Guide and a Tech Company Legal Playbook, alongside dozens of shorter posts on incorporation, trademarks, and SaaS contracts.
