Our Story, Your Solution

We didn't start this firm to add another name to Bay Street. We built Nyxarion Tale because cross-border deals kept falling apart over stuff that shouldn't have been issues in the first place.

Our Beginning
2012

How It Started

Three lawyers, too many late nights fixing other people's mistakes, and one shared frustration - watching good companies get tangled in cross-border red tape. We'd seen enough Canadian businesses miss opportunities because their legal counsel didn't get how international trade really works.

So yeah, we left comfortable partnerships to build something different. Something that actually made sense for businesses doing deals across borders.

Growth Phase
2016

Getting Our Stride

By this point, we'd helped close deals in 23 countries. Not gonna lie - some of those early ones were learning experiences. But that's exactly what made us better. We weren't just reading about customs regulations in textbooks anymore; we were navigating them in real time.

Added our IP practice around then too, after watching too many clients lose valuable assets overseas because they didn't protect things properly before expanding.

Adapting & Growing

When everything went remote, a lot of firms struggled. We actually thrived. Turns out when you're already doing deals across time zones and borders, pivoting to virtual isn't that big a shift. If anything, it leveled the playing field.

Brought on specialists in regulatory compliance and risk management. The world was getting more complicated legally, and our clients needed people who could see problems three moves ahead.

Where We're At Now

Suite 1840 on Bay Street houses a team that's handled everything from startup incorporations to multi-million dollar M&A deals. We've gotten pretty good at what we do, but we haven't gotten comfortable.

Still taking calls at odd hours because a client's deal in Singapore needs attention. Still double-checking contract clauses because missing one word can cost millions. Still believing that good legal work shouldn't feel like decoding ancient scrolls.

The People Behind the Practice

Sarah Chen
Sarah Chen
Managing Partner, Corporate Law
Started her career at a Big Five firm but got tired of billing in six-minute increments. Sarah's closed over $800M in M&A deals and still remembers every client's name. She's the one who'll spot the clause that could blow up your deal three years down the line. Speaks Mandarin fluently, which has saved more than a few negotiations.
Marcus Okafor
Marcus Okafor
Partner, International Trade
Customs compliance is basically Marcus's superpower. He's navigated tariff classifications in countries most people can't find on a map. Before law, he worked in logistics - which means he actually understands how goods move, not just how the paperwork should look. Clients love that he explains things without the legal jargon.
Elena Rodriguez
Elena Rodriguez
Partner, IP & Contract Law
Elena's the one you want when your IP is at stake. She's protected everything from software patents to brand trademarks across multiple jurisdictions. Got her start as an engineer, so she actually gets the tech she's protecting. Known for drafting contracts that somehow manage to be both airtight and readable.
David Whitmore
David Whitmore
Senior Associate, Regulatory Compliance
David's the guy who reads regulatory updates for fun - seriously. He keeps tabs on compliance changes in seven different countries and somehow makes sense of it all. Previously worked at the Ministry of Trade, so he knows how regulators think. Probably prevented more lawsuits than anyone else in the firm.
Priya Sharma
Priya Sharma
Senior Associate, M&A Advisory
Priya joined us from investment banking, which means she speaks both legal and finance fluently. She's been through due diligence processes that would make most lawyers weep. Has a talent for finding deal structures that work for everyone involved. Also makes the best coffee in the office, which matters more than you'd think.
James Patterson
James Patterson
Associate, Business Formation
James helps startups get their legal foundations right from day one. He's seen what happens when founders skip the important stuff, so he makes sure his clients don't make those mistakes. Worked at a startup accelerator before law school, which gives him perspective most corporate lawyers lack. Writes articles on business law that people actually want to read.

What Actually Matters to Us

We're not gonna feed you some line about "client-centered excellence" or "innovative solutions." Here's the truth - we care about doing work that matters, for people who are building real things. We answer the phone. We explain stuff in plain English. We don't bill you for emails that took 30 seconds to write.

International business law's complicated enough without lawyers making it worse. So we don't. Simple as that.
