Our Story

How we became Toronto's go-to firm for tech-forward legal battles

Why We Do This

Look, we've been in those boardrooms where someone says "it's just how things are done." That never sat right with us.

We started Helrion Voidforge because we saw companies getting steamrolled by outdated legal thinking. Tech moves fast - your legal team shouldn't be three steps behind. We're not here to bill hours and shuffle papers. We're here because someone's gotta understand both the courtroom AND the server room. Whether you're defending your IP from copycats or navigating a messy acquisition, we've seen it before and we know what actually works versus what sounds good in theory.

Our mission isn't complicated - protect what you've built, fight smart, and don't let legal jargon slow you down.

How We Got Here

2018

The Beginning

Three lawyers, one cramped office downtown, and way too much coffee. We'd all left bigger firms because honestly? We were tired of the same old playbook that didn't fit modern businesses. Started taking on IP cases that other firms thought were "too technical."

2020

Growing Pains

Pandemic hit, but our cybersecurity practice exploded. Everyone suddenly realized their data security wasn't just an IT problem. We moved to Bay Street and doubled our team. Won our first major patent infringement case against a multinational - that put us on the map.

2022

Specialization Pays Off

Brought on board former in-house counsel from tech companies. Turns out, having people who've actually worked in startups makes a huge difference. Started our M&A practice - lots of consolidation happening in the tech sector and we knew both sides of those deals inside out.

2025

Where We Are Now

15 lawyers, reputation for taking complex cases others avoid, and we still answer our own phones. We've handled disputes across Canada and cross-border stuff with the US. Still learning, still adapting, but we've proven that tech-savvy legal work isn't just a niche - it's the future.
