What does a technology lawyer do?
Technology and startup lawyers help founders and growing companies with incorporation, financings, software and SaaS contracts, privacy compliance, and protecting the intellectual property they're building.
The work blends federal privacy and IP law with provincial contract and corporate law, so it sits across both levels.
Ask about experience with companies at your stage, comfort with equity and financing terms, and whether the firm offers flexible arrangements for early-stage clients, since cash is usually tight. You can confirm any lawyer's standing with the law society in your province before you retain them.
