Who We Really Are

We're not your typical buttoned-up law firm. Yeah, we wear suits sometimes, but we'd rather roll up our sleeves and get into the trenches with you.

Our team in action

How We Got Started

Back in 2014, a few of us were sitting in a corporate law firm thinking - there's gotta be a better way to do this. Clients were frustrated with the stuffy atmosphere, the legal jargon that nobody actually speaks, and bills that seemed to come outta nowhere.

So we decided to start something different. Resonant Forge Legal was born from the idea that you can be both professional AND approachable. That you can fight hard for clients without being a jerk about it. That legal advice should make sense to the people receiving it.

Twelve years later, we're still holding onto those principles. Sure, we've grown and learned a ton, but the core mission hasn't changed - forge strong legal solutions that actually resonate with real people running real businesses.

What Drives Us

Straight Talk

We'll never bury you in legalese or pretend something's complicated when it's not. You deserve answers you can understand without needing a law degree.

Your Corner

When things get messy - and in business, they sometimes do - we're the ones who'll stand beside you. Not behind a desk, but right there in the fight with you.

Creative Solutions

Cookie-cutter approaches don't cut it. Every business is unique, and your legal strategy should reflect that. We like thinking outside the box.

Pro Bono Clinic

Every month, we run free legal clinics for small businesses and startups. We've helped over 200 entrepreneurs with contract reviews, incorporation advice, and general legal questions. It's some of the most rewarding work we do.

Our team commits at least 50 hours per month to pro bono work. We focus on businesses that are just getting started and need guidance but can't swing the typical lawyer fees yet.

Community Partnerships

We partner with local business incubators, accelerators, and community organizations. We've worked with MaRS Discovery District, DMZ, and several Toronto business improvement areas.

We also sponsor and mentor at startup competitions, offer workshops on legal basics for entrepreneurs, and support organizations that promote diversity in business and law.
