Goldmine Business and IP Law

About Goldmine Business and IP Law

Goldmine Business and IP Law is a one-lawyer practice based in Oakville, Ontario, run by Andrea Bolden. Bolden was called to the Ontario Bar in 2007 and to the Barbados Bar in 2010, after completing a Legal Education Certificate at Hugh Wooding Law School. The earlier law degrees, a Bachelor of Arts in Law in 2003 and a Master of Arts in Law in 2006, both came from Cambridge University. Bolden later added a Masters in Business and Tax Law in 2016 and a Certificate in Intellectual Property Licensing in 2024, both from Osgoode Hall Law School.

The practice handles business and intellectual property law for entrepreneurs, consultants, coaches, and other business owners, with clients across Canada. Work spans two models: an ongoing fractional general counsel arrangement covering contract review, IP guidance, and risk planning, and flat-fee project work such as business formation, contract strategy, capital raising support, and exit planning. A focus of the practice is helping established consultants and coaches structure the methods, frameworks, and training programs behind their businesses, so the intellectual property can be protected and, where it fits, licensed or certified to other organizations rather than delivered one client at a time.
