Megan Cornell

I work with companies building technology or technology-enabled businesses — helping them grow from startup through growth and exit. As the founder of a technology-enabled law firm dedicated to helping startups grow, as well as a legal documents software company, I bring an entrepreneur-friendly approach to advising my clients as they move through growth stages and consider opportunities. I understand how important timely and experienced advice is, bringing a couple of decades of experience through various technology and financial cycles to my advice.

I work with companies across a range of industries, including software, hardware, clean energy, health tech, ag tech, and more. Increasingly, I also work with technology companies whose products and platforms have defence and security applications — advising on corporate transactions, partnerships, and structures as Canada’s defence industrial base evolves and investment in domestic sovereign capabilities accelerates. As co-chair of Dentons Canada’s national Defence and Security group, I help technology founders and growth companies understand how their innovations intersect with the defence procurement and industrial strategy landscape.

I support startups as they begin, to ensure they are prepared for growth. I assist as a company develops customers, clients, and strategic relationships — including with government and defence primes. I help companies consider growth and exit opportunities as they arise and help see those opportunities through to completion.

In my downtime, I spend time with family, work on never-ending construction at our cottage in the Gaspé region of Quebec, and participate in various fitness pursuits.
