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.

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 honestly couldn't have asked for more!
Helped flesh out a commercial sub-lease. She was very helpful, reasonable and fairly priced. I would and will use her services again and strongly recommend her to anyone.

Honest, Trustworthy, and Truly Professional
Dawn Deans is so far removed from the "Greedy Lawyer" stereotype, which makes it a true pleasure to work with her. Many of her services are offered for a flat rate fee rather than by hourly billing, so her clients can know the total costs of certain services up front and not have to worry about their...
"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."
