About Cunningham & Co.
“The most successful businesses don't wait until they have a legal problem to call their lawyer. They have good legal counsel beside them from the beginning.”
A good lawyer does more than tell you what you cannot do.
At Cunningham & Co., we believe legal counsel should understand what you are trying to build—and help you build it thoughtfully.
Our clients are entrepreneurs, business owners, and families with something at stake. They are making investments, entering partnerships, signing contracts, buying and selling businesses, navigating disputes, and planning for the future. The legal decisions surrounding those moments can have consequences far beyond the document on the table.
That is why we approach our work with the bigger picture in mind.
Our founder began her legal career at one of Canada’s largest law firms, working on complex matters for sophisticated clients. She saw firsthand what experienced legal counsel can bring to a business: not simply technical knowledge, but judgment, foresight, and the ability to see around corners.
That’s why we become involved at the moments that matter—from incorporating a new company and structuring ownership, to negotiating major contracts, acquiring a business, resolving a shareholder dispute, or planning for succession. And for businesses that need counsel beyond individual matters, we provide ongoing corporate and commercial advice as outside general counsel.
Our approach is deliberate. We take the time to actually understand the people behind the business, the way the business actually operates, and where it is going. We give advice that is legally sound, commercially practical, and honest about both opportunity and risk.
Because the best legal counsel isn’t the lawyer who simply finds a way to say yes.
It’s the lawyer who understands what you’re building well enough to know when to say yes, when to say no, and when there’s a better way forward.
That’s the kind of counsel we strive to provide.
