SIL Consult was founded to support organizations that have outgrown ad-hoc legal support but are not yet ready, or do not wish to expand full-time in-house legal teams.
SIL Consult’s advisory practice is led by a licensed Ontario lawyer with over 15 years of experience across in-house, private practice, and advisory roles. Our team’s experience spans private and public company governance, commercial contracting, regulatory compliance, securities law, and M&A, across industries including technology, professional services, financial services and regulated sectors.
As businesses grow, legal issues become more frequent, more interconnected, and more consequential. Decisions that were once informal begin to carry financial, regulatory, and reputational weight. SIL Consult exists to bridge that gap, providing experienced legal judgment in a form that is practical, accessible, and aligned with how businesses actually operate.
We are not a traditional high-volume law firm. Our work is relationship-driven and advisory in nature, focused on helping leadership teams make sound decisions rather than generating volume or complexity.
We operate as a trusted advisor to executive teams, partnering closely with founders, management, and boards. Engagements are structured, discreet, and tailored to each organization’s stage, priorities, and risk profile.
Our typical engagement models include:
1. Advisory retainer: monthly fixed fee, defined scope, predictable cost.
2. Project- based: scoped and quoted for specific matters.
3. Interim/Fractional General Counsel Support: part-time embedded legal role.
