No. There is no public plan tier, no fixed-fee menu and no self-checkout. Enterprise, Portfolio & Custom Support is configured after intake, conflict review, a strategy session and written engagement terms, with a custom quote. The kits inside a configuration keep the fee published on their pages; who pays for them — the company or the organization — is part of the configuration.

Each company is. The organization engages the firm for the configuration — the intake, the capacity, the reporting — and each company engages the firm for its own matters, on its own terms, with its own confidences. Where the sponsor and a company have different interests — a financing the fund is investing in, a buy-back, a dispute — the firm acts for one side only, says which in writing, and the other side takes its own counsel. That is the rule that lets a fund or a program stand behind the layer without its companies wondering whose lawyer it is.

A strategy session. You submit a short request describing the organization, its companies, stakeholders, jurisdictions and objectives. Submitting a request does not create a lawyer-client relationship or guarantee acceptance.

Advisory & Transactional Work is bespoke legal work for one complex, negotiated, securities-sensitive, governance-sensitive, cross-border or transactional matter. Enterprise support builds the coordinated model that many matters run through, and its escalation rules decide when a matter leaves the model for advisory scope. The two work together: structured workflows handle repeatable needs; advisory handles judgment and negotiation.

Organizations with repeated or coordinated legal needs across several companies: venture funds and their platform teams, venture studios, accelerators and programs, family offices and portfolio groups, multi-entity businesses, and groups with companies in Canada and the UAE or the United States. It is not for a single standard matter that fits a normal intake path — the structured systems handle that directly.

Nothing for the pathway. A cohort session, office hours, one intake route and the materials a program can circulate cost the program nothing; founders who engage the firm do so directly, at the fee on each kit page. That pathway has its own page: Programs and accelerators. This page is the priced layer beyond it — where a program funds kits for its cohort, wants standing counsel capacity, or wants aggregate reporting across several programs — and it is configured only if a program asks for it.

Yes. A configuration can include an approved Workflow Kit menu your companies draw from. Not every kit is automatically on the menu — it depends on the organization, the intended users, the risk profile, volume and scope — and any company can always go to a kit directly, outside the configuration, at the same published fee.

It can. Recurring counsel capacity through Ongoing Counsel Support — defined annual capacity or a retainer — can be built into the configuration for the organization, for particular companies, or both, on intake-based or custom terms.

The configuration sets the rules. Complex, negotiated or securities-sensitive matters — investor negotiations, priced rounds, securities filings, M&A, disputes, complex governance — route to Advisory & Transactional Work under separate, matter-specific engagement terms with the company concerned, scoped in phases with a budget agreed before each.

Where reporting is scoped, the organization sees what is moving, approved or escalated across the portfolio at the cadence it sets — in aggregate by default: which companies have used which workflows, what has been completed, what has escalated. The content of a particular company’s matter is that company’s confidence, and reaches the organization only with the company’s written consent. Funds with information rights and companies that want their investor kept informed can build that consent into the configuration from the start.

Yes. The model is designed to coordinate recurring legal work across companies, entities, stakeholders and jurisdictions, with intake-based routing and one coordinated relationship rather than scattered files. The firm is licensed in Canada and the UAE and handles both directly; US-law work is delivered through its alliance with a US firm, inside the same engagement.

Yes, on both sides. For a group with companies in Canada and the UAE, the firm is licensed in both countries and reads the two sides of a matter together — see Canada–UAE. For US entities, the firm engages directly with you and delivers the US-law work through its alliance with a US firm — see Canada–US. Tax in any country stays with your accountants, coordinated by the firm.

The number of companies or entities supported, expected matter volume, the approved kit menu, annual counsel capacity, recurring advisory capacity, complexity, jurisdictions, stakeholder groups, reporting requirements, escalation rules and urgency. HST, government, filing, registry, platform, external-counsel and third-party costs are separate unless expressly included.

If the fit is right, the firm proposes a configuration — workflows, capacity, intake and triage rules, escalation paths, reporting cadence, who pays for what, and fee. Once written engagement terms are accepted and any required payment or retainer is in place, the model rolls out, and it is reviewed at a set cadence and adjusted as the portfolio changes.
