We are a boutique law firm located in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.

Our practice is restricted to e-commerce, software and databases, Information Technology, the Internet, telemedicine and related employment, technology and intellectual property law matters for start-ups and expanding businesses. We also do corporate finance and mergers and acquisition work for start-ups and companies seeking to expand their businesses.

We like to think of ourselves as your in-house legal department. We understand that if you are successful, so are we. We are committed to making you successful and getting the best value for your legal budget.

With over 25 years of legal experience working in the information technology and corporate finance industries, Gary Dunn & Associates has the depth of experience necessary in the digital age to provide advice in the ever changing fields of software development, copyright, content creation, trade-marks, contracts, employment, licensing, entertainment and video gaming, risk management and mergers and acquisitions.

Recent clients cover the spectrum from the corporate legal departments of multinational hardware companies to telco's, Internet companies, mid-sized software manufacturers, start-ups and owner-managed businesses.

We are structured for efficiency, personal service and low overhead. We do not use the hierarchical system of junior lawyers common to large firms, ensuring that your fees provide you with access to a senior lawyer. Fees are discussed and structured with clients prior to engagement.

If your needs extend beyond our areas of expertise (for example, litigation) we have a referral network of lawyers and other specialized consultants to provide an integrated solution to your business needs.
