I have advised cross border businesses for over a decade in relation to trademark matters and cross border business.
I am fully licensed to practice law in both the US and Canada, and I have extensive experience advising businesses on both sides of the border.
My legal experience includes handling corporate reorganizations, trademark registration and enforcement; multi-million dollar commercial transactions, and various business contracts. I also advise businesses on UCC /secured transactions, asset protection, and creditor protection.
In every case I strive to give my clients practical solutions, and not just the legal answers because an answer of "No , you can't do that" just isn't helpful to a business owner.

Dawn was very easy to talk to, knowledgable, and offered great advice in an easy to understand way. She was very helpful teaching this novice about business and my best options going forward starting a small business. Highly recommended!

Ms. Deans was able to thoughtfully help me navigate my way through several tricky circumstances to come to the best solution for my cross border business legal needs. I will most certainly continue to use her services inhte future.

"I highly recommend Dawn for your business law needs. Dawn assisted me when I was starting my own business. She was extremely knowledgeable. Dawn is also licensed in BC, Canada."
"I have encountered Dawn's excellent work as co-counsel on a couple of business transactions over the past year. I have come to trust her as an innovative, solution-oriented business attorney. It is especially nice to have a fellow lawyer in the community well versed in Canadian as well as American business law. I look forward to working with her more in the future."
