Common Legal Questions from Canadian Tech Companies and Developers

We’ve compiled answers to the most frequently asked legal questions from startups, IT consultants, and software businesses operating in Canada.

Do I need a lawyer to draft an NDA for my startup?

Yes. While templates are available online, a professionally drafted NDA ensures your specific needs are met and complies with Canadian law. Poorly drafted agreements may not hold up in court and could expose your business to unnecessary risk.

How do I protect my software from being copied?

You can protect your software through copyright registration, contractual clauses, and trade secret practices. If your software includes unique branding, trademarking is also recommended. Our team can help you choose the right combination of legal protections.

Can I collect user data on my app legally in Canada?

Yes, but only under strict conditions. Canadian laws such as PIPEDA require consent, purpose limitation, and data security measures. You also need a clear privacy policy. We can help you draft one and ensure your app complies with all legal obligations.

What legal structure is best for a tech startup?

It depends on your goals, location, and funding plans. In most cases, incorporating provides liability protection and better access to investors. We guide you through the process and help draft founder and shareholder agreements.

Is it necessary to register my trademark in Canada?

While not mandatory, trademark registration gives you exclusive rights and makes enforcement easier. For tech brands and software names, registration is highly recommended to avoid future disputes.

What should a SaaS agreement include?

A SaaS agreement should define service scope, payment terms, data handling, support obligations, and liability limits. We draft clear, enforceable agreements tailored to your services and ensure compliance with Canadian consumer and privacy laws.
