British Columbia’s artificial intellgigence startup scene at full boil. You’ve got climate technology heros reinventing energy, fintech folks building the next Stripe, artificial intelligence hardware engineers who sleep next to GPUs, and blockchain dreamers still clinging to Web3 like it’s 2021 (it’s time to move on I think.) But something exciting in Vancouver happened last week. Startup TNT dropped their BC Summit XI Top 20 list, and tucked right between some hopeful companies there was Caseway. Trust me, I know that legal technology doesn’t usually make you want to sprint to your laptop and go down a habbit hole. But…

Are you looking into how to use Henson Trusts to shield wealth? Most wealth professionals don’t deal with Henson Trusts daily, but if you’re working with high-net-worth families with a disabled family member, you’ll need to get familiar with it. Remember that someone injured in the military can also be qualified to set up a Henson Trust.  These advanced trusts protect assets while keeping the beneficiary eligible for government benefits (disability payments), but they’re also a minefield if set up incorrectly. I’ve seen situations where a poorly structured trust completely derailed an estate plan, so getting it right from the…

I’ve spent the last few years working on Canadian legal technology. Most law firms in Canada are still spend their software budgets on American software like LexisNexis, even while talking a big game about supporting locals. If you’re using LexisNexis you’re paying in USD, sending your firm’s client data across the border, and helping fund someone else’s ecosystem. Canada needs to build long-term resilience. We need to make a decision on whether we want to build a self-sufficient legal infrastructure or rent it indefinitely from someone else. Here’s what I see every day. We’re building Caseway to process millions of…

The controversy surrounding the Law Society of Ontario and its CEO Diana Miles’s new, nearly $1 million contract highlights systemic problems within The Law Society, including concerns over governance, transparency, and potential conflicts of interest. The hiring of retired Associate Chief Justice Dennis O’Connor to conduct an independent review of the matter signals the seriousness of the concerns raised by LSO benchers. However, this case does not occur in a vacuum; it fits into a broader pattern of opaque financial dealings within the legal establishment, including the operations of CanLII, a legal database controlled by the Federation of Law Societies…

Are you looking into the differences between stunt driving vs. speeding in Ontario? Getting charged with stunt driving or speeding in Ontario can seriously wreck your life if not handled properly. I’ve seen people make the mistake of treating these criminal charges like simple traffic tickets. But then they realize (too late) that they’re in actual serious legal trouble. Let’s break down what sets these two criminal offences apart because not knowing the difference can cost you much more than just a fine. Speeding: Common but Costly Most of us have pushed the speedometer a little too far at some…

Getting a middle-market lending contract signed sounds simple. You get a loan and grow your business. People who are dealing with these types of loans know that the legal side is super important. The legal terms that you agree to upfront will give you breathing room or trap you in covenants, fees, and restrictions. Lenders aren’t just handing out money based on a handshake. They’re structuring deals to protect themselves, and if you don’t have someone on your side who understands how these agreements work, you could end up with terms that strangle your business. The legal process behind these…

Are you looking into if Caseway is good or worth it? Caseway is an artificial intelligence software company that is changing how law firms, companies, and the self-represented (people without a lawyer) interact with court decisions, court forms, and contracts and conduct legal research. It has gained lots of traction (users) for its ability to process millions of court decisions in seconds and for cheap (only $49/month.) It offers valuable legal insights and memos that would typically take hours or days to compile manually. But is Caseway worth it for lawyers, law firms, individuals, and businesses? Before adopting it, this…

Are you wondering how human rights shape criminal punishment? You really start to notice how human rights shape criminal law when you sit in courtrooms week after week. I did that for five years. The tension between state power and individual freedom is in the air when someone faces 10 years and the judge decides if their Charter rights got trampled. Let’s talk about the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. It came in 1982. Since then, criminal law hasn’t been the same. You can’t just arrest someone and figure out the paperwork later. Section 10 of the Charter makes…

Are you stressed because you lost your license in Ontario? After a DUI in Ontario, the shock sets in fast. Your driver’s license is gone, you get a hefty fine, your car gets towed to some unknown location, and your entire routine is wrecked. It hits even harder if you drive to work, have kids to shuttle around, or live somewhere in Ontario without decent transit. But getting your license back isn’t impossible. It’s just a process. It’s frustrating, but if you handle it properly, you can get back on the road legally without making things worse. I’ve sat across…
