About Nyanhemwa Law

Nyanhemwa Law is an independent Ontario firm based in Whitby that works as fractional General Counsel for technology companies, AI builders, fintechs, and other regulated businesses. Instead of billing by the hour, the firm charges a fixed monthly retainer spread across three service tiers, so clients get ongoing access to senior legal advice with predictable costs. Its practice centers on three areas: AI governance and compliance, including Canada's Bill C-27 (the Artificial Intelligence and Data Act) and the EU AI Act; privacy and data law under PIPEDA, Quebec's Law 25, and PHIPA; and counsel for companies in regulated industries such as fintech, insurtech, and healthtech.

The firm is run by Charmaine Nyanhemwa, who was called to the Ontario bar in 2025. Before starting this practice, Nyanhemwa worked at the intersection of AI, compliance, and financial services, and that background now shapes the firm's focus on companies navigating AI and privacy regulation. Nyanhemwa Law was previously known as Everyday Law Co, operating from the same Whitby address with a broader general practice covering corporate and commercial, family, real estate, and wills and estates matters. The current practice has narrowed to serve fast-growing tech and regulated companies that have outgrown a startup lawyer but aren't ready for a full-time in-house counsel.
