About the Presenter:

Angie Redecopp has over 10 years of legal experience working with two of Canada’s largest corporate law firms. Angie has worked with a range of clients, from start-ups to public companies, from oil & gas to tech companies. In addition, Angie has operated her own businesses, worked for an international human rights NGO, and taught in an undergraduate business program. Her practical experience, combined with her law, MBA, and education degrees, gives her the ability to meaningfully engage and advise on a range of business topics.

Angie is passionate about working with start-ups and small-medium sized businesses (SMEs). When she was envisioning what a return to legal practice could look like in summer 2021, she went looking for others in the legal space with a mission to provide accessible legal services for small businesses – both traditional legal services and services around environmental, social, and governance (ESG) practices for SMEs. As a result, Angie has designed her practice around up-front pricing, accessibility and simply making the process of using legal services easier, while still delivering top quality products and advice.
