Brandon T.J. Deans

Invaluable counsel for our tech startup's acquisition

As founders of a small but growing software company in Victoria, we were completely unprepared when a larger firm expressed serious interest in acquiring us. The process was daunting, and we knew we needed expert guidance. Brandon Deans at Reed Pope was recommended to us, and it was the best decision we could have made. While his profile lists a general practice, his deep, recognized expertise in technology and M&A law was immediately apparent. He didn't just handle the paperwork; he became a strategic partner. Brandon patiently explained every clause, from complex securities implications to post-acquisition employment terms, ensuring we understood the long-term impact. His advice on the corporate structure and due diligence was meticulous, protecting our interests at every turn. What impressed us most was his ability to be both a sharp negotiator and a calming presence. He anticipated issues before they arose and communicated with the other side with a professionalism that kept the deal on track. The transaction closed smoothly, and the outcome exceeded our expectations. For any entrepreneur or business in BC navigating corporate growth, financing, or a sale, Brandon’s blend of practical, local knowledge and substantive expertise in securities and technology law is exceptional. We are profoundly grateful for his service.
