At Origin Law Corporation, we provide sophisticated, strategic, and business-focused corporate legal services to clients from around the world.

Our clients range from emerging startups to multinational corporations and institutional investors. We combine the precision of top-tier legal advice with the responsiveness and personal attention of a boutique practice — ensuring every structure, transaction, and negotiation is handled with efficiency, technical skill, and commercial insight.

Our services include incorporations, reorganizations, and cross-border entity structuring; shareholder, partnership, and joint venture agreements; corporate governance, board advisory, and regulatory compliance; commercial contracts, licensing, and technology agreements; and strategic reorganizations, estate freezes, and trust planning. We regularly assist clients operating in Canada, the United States, the UAE, the EU, and the UK with joint ventures, partnership formations, and multi-jurisdictional business development.
