About Cloudhaus Law

Cloudhaus Law is a Richmond Hill business law firm founded by Irbaz Wahab, a lawyer licensed in both Canada and the United States. Wahab began a legal career as a solicitor with the City of Toronto, in a role focused on technology law and negotiating multi-million dollar procurement contracts, before starting the firm. Wahab holds a B.A. (Honours) in Public Policy from the University of Toronto, two law degrees (from Windsor Law and the University of Detroit), a Certificate in Negotiating and Drafting IT Agreements from Osgoode Hall Law School, and the Certified Information Privacy Professional/Canada (CIPP/C) privacy designation.

The firm's practice centres on franchise law for both franchisors and franchisees, alongside business incorporation, money services business (MSB) regulatory work, and restaurant law covering licensing and lease negotiation. Instead of hourly billing, Cloudhaus Law works on flat fees and monthly subscriptions, and it runs primarily online, with consultations by phone or video rather than in-person meetings. Its MSB work extends into FINTRAC registration and compliance for crypto exchanges and other virtual currency businesses.
