About LaBarge Weinstein LLP

LaBarge Weinstein LLP is a business law firm founded in 1997 by four lawyers, Paul LaBarge, Debbie Weinstein, Randy Taylor, and Lawrence Weinstein, who left a larger law firm to start their own practice. It's headquartered in Ottawa, with additional offices in Toronto and Vancouver. The Vancouver office opened in September 2012, on the firm's 15th anniversary, to give it a permanent presence in British Columbia's technology market.

From the start, the firm has focused on technology and knowledge-based companies, working with clients from formation through financing, mergers and acquisitions, and eventual exit. Its practice covers corporate and financing work, mergers and acquisitions, securities and public company representation, tax planning and dispute resolution, and technology and intellectual property matters. Its M&A work has ranged from $500,000 deals to $500 million transactions, and has involved large companies such as Google, Microsoft, Salesforce, Yahoo, Siemens, Logitech, and Ericsson, along with private equity and buyout firms. Canadian Lawyer Magazine has repeatedly ranked the firm among Canada's Top 10 Corporate Law Boutiques, most recently for 2024-25, and The Globe and Mail named it Canada's most active law firm for venture capital deals in 2015.
