Technology
We develop cutting-edge solutions that address the fast-paced evolution of the Technology industry. From start-ups to late-stage companies, we help technology companies, the users of their products and services and investors, navigate needs across the full business lifecycle.
Clients choose Goodmans when they want to accelerate the exploration of commercial opportunities through highly-vetted introductions of key leaders among our diverse technology client base. We have successfully led the procurement, negotiation, implementation, renegotiation and dispute resolution processes in many of Canada’s most complex information technology procurement and outsourcing transactions.
Our commitment to the technology industry is unwavering. Our lawyers are passionate and active in all aspects of the technology sector – they advise on complex, high-profile transactions, provide thought leadership at Canada’s law schools, act as “counsel-in-residence” for world-renowned tech incubators, hold key roles with leading industry associations, and pioneer new methods for procuring 21st-century technologies. Our lawyers developed many of the contractual relationship formats that now exist in the information technology sector.
We are routinely engaged by clients on matters involving technology acquisitions, investments and financing, outsourcing and cloud computing, intellectual property protection and management (including copyright/licensing), regulatory issues, artificial intelligence, quantum computing, social media issues, privacy and data security, competition and foreign investment, private equity and venture capital and risk management.
Goodmans is a proud partner of the DMZ at Toronto Metropolitan University (formerly Ryerson University), a business incubator recently selected by UBI as the top-ranked university incubator in the world, and of IDEABoost, an initiative of the Canadian Film Centre’s Media Lab, building the next generation of technology-based media entertainment products, services and brands. Through these partnerships, Goodmans provides legal advice, mentorship and networking opportunities to assist start-ups in maximizing their potential.
Members of our Technology Group are consistently recognized as leading technology lawyers in several industry publications.
