Bennett Jones' TME Group consists of a group of dedicated legal professionals in Toronto, Calgary and Edmonton. We are focused on providing services and expertise designed to enhance the prospects of our TME clients. We deliver high quality legal services with an entrepreneurial approach.
While the TME Group offers the intimacy and responsiveness of a small firm, we also draw on the resources of Bennett Jones' approximately 400 lawyers and legal professionals for their experience in the broad range of legal matters that are relevant to our TME clients.
We develop and maintain stable, long-term relationships between each client and one of our lawyers who acts as a single point of contact. The contact person will introduce and coordinate other Bennett Jones lawyers in any specialty disciplines needed by our TME clients.
The TME industry is characterized by collaboration and networks. As long-time participants in the space, we have developed an extensive network of contacts in Canada and beyond, and we make these contacts available to our clients. Our network includes financing sources (angel, venture capital, private equity and strategic investors, investment banks and commercial banks), government agencies and professionals in related fields (accountants, lawyers, recruiters, marketing and business development experts, proxy solicitors, and investor and public relations consultants). These are people with whom we have worked over many years and whom we recommend with confidence.
Our TME Group has worked with hundreds of TME businesses over more than 20 years. We deliver that experience to every client by recommending best practices and helping them to avoid costly mistakes with customized advice. There is no substitute for the experience of having seen particular approaches succeed, or fail.
We service all legal needs. If we have a conflict or do not have the required skillset in-house, we will recommend another suitable professional, and provide you with a warm introduction.
We focus on rapidly growing TME businesses, built on proprietary technology, content or information, that are intended to compete internationally. Sectors in which we are active include the following:
We offer legal services geared specifically to meeting the distinct needs of TME businesses throughout their lifecycle, including the following:
We also act for Canadian and foreign venture capital funds in fund formation, portfolio investments and portfolio exits, and for investment banks on public offerings of securities, mergers and acquisitions and other public market activities of TME businesses.
We do not compete on the basis of fees, but rather on the basis of value for money. However, our training and staffing practices mean that we are efficient and affordable. We deliver responsible client service by providing prompt, practical and cost-efficient advice to our clients. We offer customized fee arrangements to early-stage companies, recognizing their limited financial resources and potential for future growth.
