Startups & Emerging Companies

About

Provided by Torys LLP

We work closely with players across the emerging companies ecosystem. Whether on standalone projects or ongoing assignments, we support early- to late-stage technology growth companies in all aspects of the creation, acquisition and commercialization of their business. We help founders determine when and how much to fundraise, how to achieve the right economic structure, how to think about board and control issues and how to successfully navigate different stages of growth. Scaling often includes a U.S. strategy, and our team works side by side with entrepreneurs and their teams as they navigate the nuances of going cross-border.

We also help investors realize their investment strategies in high-growth companies. We bring together leading transactional and sector knowledge from across the firm to advise VC funds, strategic investors, private equity funds and other institutional investors. From fund formation and shareholder arrangements to buyouts and other exits, we work closely with investors on some of their most innovative work in Canada, the U.S. and internationally.
