Fauri Law is a Toronto-based boutique corporate and venture law firm advising founders, investors, and institutions building Canada’s innovation economy. We focus on the legal architecture of business — corporate formation, venture financing, governance, and strategic transactions — delivering partner-led advisory counsel supported by structured legal systems designed for high-growth companies.
We operate as external corporate counsel integrated into our clients’ decision-making, combining disciplined legal judgment with engineered delivery frameworks built for venture ecosystems.
Our Focus
We concentrate on the legal needs that define a company’s lifecycle:
- Business formation and founder structuring.
- Governance and shareholder frameworks.
- Venture financing and capital structuring.
- Commercial transactions and Intellectual Property.
- Mergers and acquisitions.
- Ongoing advisory counsel.
This specialization allows us to maintain deep familiarity with venture market standards and evolving corporate practices.
How We Deliver
Advisory Judgment + Structured Execution
We deliver legal work through a deliberate dual model that combines partner-led advisory counsel with structured legal systems. This framework aligns the engagement model with the nature of the work — preserving flexibility for complex matters while creating predictability for repeatable corporate needs.
Dual model pillars :
- Advisory & Transactional Work (Primary)
Bespoke, partner-led counsel for strategic and evolving mandates.
- Structured Legal Systems (Supporting Infrastructure)
Legal plans and workflow kits delivering fixed-scope execution.
Our operating principle is:
Predictability where possible. Flexibility where necessary.
This framework allows companies to combine efficient infrastructure with sophisticated advisory counsel.
Built for Venture Ecosystems
We work closely with venture funds, accelerators, and startup platforms to standardize legal infrastructure across ecosystems. Our systems are designed to keep companies transaction-ready and aligned with institutional expectations.
By combining advisory judgment with scalable execution frameworks, we help founders operate with clean governance and financing readiness from the outset.
Representative Experience
Our experience includes complex corporate and transactional mandates involving multi-party negotiations, layered capital structures, and cross-border execution. Representative matters include:
- advising on a CAD $2M equity financing for a Toronto-based cybersecurity company
- structuring a CAD $4.5M convertible note financing for a Canadian technology startup
- advising on a USD $5M cross-border equity financing involving international venture structuring
- managing a USD $100M+ ownership restructuring of a venture-led, government-backed aerospace project
Across these engagements, our focus is durability — ensuring that each transaction remains structurally coherent through future financings, governance evolution, and exit scenarios.
Who We Work With
Our clients are typically:
- Venture-backed and growth-stage startups
- Founder-led private companies
- Investors and portfolio companies
- Cross-border ventures preparing for financing or exit
- Capital-intensive development projects
- Government and semi-government organizations
- Select mid-market and complex mandates
We focus on businesses that require institutional-grade corporate counsel without maintaining a full in-house legal team.
