Virtual appointmentsAbout Jode Law Firm
Jode Law Firm is a solo corporate law practice serving founders, startups, and growing businesses across Ontario. The firm's founder, Jumi Odepe, holds a Master of Laws from the University of Ottawa and a Bachelor of Laws/Juris Doctor from the University of Ife, and is licensed to practice with both the Law Society of Ontario and the Nigeria Bar Association. The firm's client work has spanned technology, manufacturing, healthcare, food and beverage, real estate, and data privacy companies.
The practice concentrates on the deals and paperwork a growing business needs as it scales: incorporations, founder and commercial contracts, corporate governance, and assigning intellectual property from a founder to the company itself. It also supports strategic partnerships and mergers and acquisitions work. Rather than a general practice, Jode Law quotes flat or starting fees for its core services (incorporations, contracts and agreements, corporate governance) instead of relying only on hourly billing, and consultations are booked online.
