Contact Guild & Gavel Legal Collective

Legal questions don't need to sit on the bench.

Share the issue, the deadline, or the draft that's giving you trouble. We'll read it carefully, then point you towards a clear next step. Why wait until the dispute has a head start?

Frequently Asked Questions

A few quick answers before you reach out.

If your question isn't here, send it through anyway. Why let a small uncertainty become a bigger problem?

Our initial 15-minute discovery call is free. That first conversation helps us understand the issue, its urgency, and whether the right next step is a drafting session, a review, or a deeper strategy call. No guessing. No pressure.

Yes. We work hybrid by design, with virtual meetings for clients across Ontario and beyond. If you prefer an in-person discussion, we can arrange that too. The format should suit the work, not the other way round.

When the matter calls for it, yes. Guild meetings, maker collectives, and workshop visits can be arranged on a case-by-case basis. We like seeing the context in which the business actually runs. It changes the advice in useful ways.

Send the full draft, any redlines, and a short note about what matters most to you: price, timelines, rights, territory, or exit terms. If you've got background correspondence, include that too. The cleaner the brief, the sharper the review.
