Startups at the Northern Centre for Advanced Technology (NORCAT) will have improved access to legal services as of November, thanks to a new partnership with Wildeboer Dellelce.
Founded in 1995, NORCAT serves as Sudbury’s Regional Innovation Centre partnering with community stakeholders to help start and accelerate the growth of innovative companies.
In 2009, NORCAT moved into a larger building on Maley Drive. It has continued to grow, opening an office in Timmins in 2014. With that growth came new needs.
“Our job at the NORCAT Innovation Mill is to support the growth of scalable tech startups to drive sustained job and wealth creation for our community,” says Don Duval, CEO of NORCAT, in a release. “Our clients have demonstrated the need for a trusted legal services provider and therefore today, we are very excited to announce our partnership with Wildeboer Dellelce, one of Canada’s premier law firms serving entrepreneurial ventures.”
Wildeboer Dellelce has 40 employees specializing in transactional business law, and works with entrepreneurs and leaders driven to grow or transform their businesses.
“This partnership is another exciting activity we are involved with and, like our role with the Osgoode Hall Venture Clinic, Dragons' Den and the Disruptors, along with the role we play with our clients, further strengthens our reputation and expertise in the entrepreneurial space,” Perry Dellelce, managing partner of Wildeboer Dellelce, said in the release.
Wildeboer Dellelce will work in association with Sudbury's Amanda Berloni of Berloni Law, and serve as the preferred professional legal services advisers for NORCAT’s technology startup clients with respect to corporate transactions and securities law matters.
