Hi, I’m Sorèl Leinburd. With more than 30 years of deep experience, I do my best to provide clients with effective, pragmatic advice in business and technology deals.

Experience counts. I have been advising and working with clients in the business and technology sectors for over 30 years. I know what it takes to negotiate and close tough, complex deals. Or, when less is more, I can help clients find a simpler solution. I bring effective, pragmatic advice to clients through expertise gleaned from numerous transactions and deal closings. My clients span various sectors and include start-ups to huge enterprises, entrepreneurs, engineers, professors, physicians and other professionals, family-owned and operated companies, and closely held ventures.

I was born in Eastern Europe, raised on the Canadian prairies, and despite travelling to many parts of the world, cannot think of a better place to live than on Canada’s West Coast near the ocean and mountains. I feed my soul listening to transcendent jazz, reading books by writers who look at the world with fresh eyes, getting in occasional hikes in the mountains, and indulging a love for travelling vicariously by making complex, spiced food and the enjoying the arts of other cultures.

I have helped clients with:

• corporate, business, and technology law 
• buying and selling companies
• technology development & licensing
• business formations and corporate governance
• shareholder agreements and dispute resolution
• equity and debt financing
• employee agreements
• a broad range of commercial transactions
• corporate reorganizations
