David Goldberg

David Goldberg is a Toronto business and corporate lawyer and one of the founding partners of GLG LLP, a full-service firm in the heart of the city's legal and financial district. His practice is built around a straightforward idea: businesses need a lawyer who understands what it takes to run one.

He knows that first-hand. David is an entrepreneur as well as a lawyer, and he brings that perspective to clients who are building something — helping them lay a foundation that holds up as the business grows rather than one that has to be rebuilt at the first financing round.

David graduated with distinction from Western Law and holds a Bachelor of Arts in History. Before co-founding GLG LLP, he practised at a leading national firm.

His practice covers the full life cycle of a business: incorporations, start-ups and business planning; purchase and sale of a business; mergers and acquisitions; corporate and commercial agreements; commercial leases and negotiations; financial services and secured lending transactions; private securities; strategic shareholder planning and dispute resolution; board advisory and corporate governance; and cannabis law.

The work itself ranges from transactional structuring to risk mitigation and contract drafting. David has helped companies raise capital through periods of rapid expansion, acquire competing enterprises, and restructure their affairs through complex reorganizations. Because he works across a broad range of industries, he has developed a practical read on which legal problems actually threaten a business and which are noise — advice that tends to be shorter, faster, and cheaper as a result.

That practicality is the firm's approach as well. GLG LLP is built on client-centred service and cost-conscious rates, with a small partnership that means the lawyer a client meets is the lawyer handling the file.
