About Caravel Law

Caravel Law is an innovative, low overhead Canadian business law firm based in Toronto, at 342 Queen Street West. It was founded in 2005 as Cognition LLP by Rubsun Ho and Joe Milstone, who wanted to build a law firm around a leaner, more flexible way of working. The firm took the name Caravel Law in 2015, borrowing from the caravel, described on its own history page as "a nimble and agile boat, skilled in navigating smaller waters." Jackie Dinsmore joined the firm in 2012 and became its first Managing Partner in 2023.

Caravel's lawyers work as "Of Counsel," practising through their own professional corporations in association, not partnership, with Caravel Law Professional Corporation. Clients can engage them on a fractional basis (a set block of hours each month or days each week at a fixed rate), by the hour, or for a fixed fee project, so a business gets senior legal help without adding to permanent headcount. The firm expanded into Calgary in 2013 and British Columbia in 2020, passed 100 lawyers in 2023, and marked 20 years in business in 2025. Its lawyers handle corporate and commercial law, employment, immigration, intellectual property, real estate and technology matters for businesses across the country.

In the community

  • In 2022, Caravel Law became an Innovation Expert partner with ventureLAB, a founder community for hardware technology and enterprise software companies, working alongside partners such as Amazon Web Services, HubSpot, IBM and Dell to support Canadian tech entrepreneurs.
