Case Study: How Banyan Software Got the Legal Backup They Needed to Keep Growing

Too many legal needs, not enough hours in the day? Banyan Canada’s been there.

Banyan Software was scaling fast—acquiring new companies, juggling contracts, and trying to keep everything running with one in-house lawyer. It was too much for one person. That’s where we came in.

The Problem

Banyan buys and runs niche software companies. Each new acquisition brings more contracts, more questions, and more legal to manage. But their lean legal team was already at capacity.

We needed lawyers who could jump in fast, work directly with our portfolio CEOs, and just keep things moving.

The Fix

They brought us in to handle the legal overflow—and we hit the ground running. One of our lawyers, Amélie, stepped into a key project and took the lead, coordinating directly with a portfolio company CEO and managing the whole thing start to finish.

No hand-holding. No back-and-forth. Just smart, practical legal work done well.

The Results

• Legal tasks finally off the in-house plate

• Trusted lawyers who now feel like part of the team

• Faster turnaround, smoother processes

• Support that scales with the business

“The more we work with Amelie and Joanne, the better it gets. They know how we operate, and they just get it.”

Why They’d Recommend Us
