He’s amicable and thoughtful, with a fastidious attention to detail that makes trusting his advice very easy. It is a huge relief to be able to talk to someone who can answer your questions clearly, and help identify your options and their possible side-effects.
The fact that he has reasonable rates accessible to small indie studios is indicative of the care he has for meeting his clients’ needs be.

He originally helped us correct our corporation documents to better protect our studio and set up contracts for our early small projects. Since then he has helped guide the studio as we’ve grown in size and broadened our services, walking us through the best way to approach more complex contracts and code licensing.

Throughout it all, Dale has provided Laundry Bear with the highest quality of service. Every question is answered with clarity and I am always left feeling that our needs were clearly understood. As our needs as an evolving studio continue to change, I have full trust that Dale will continue to provide the same exceptional work he’s consistently provided through our many years working together.

I started my game studio in 2021 after the trailer of our game went viral. This meant I had to quickly incorporate, sign and negotiate contracts with various platforms and also ramp up my company to hire people.

Dale came in heavily recommended and understood where I was coming from. He was able to help me get up and quickly running and also navigate many tricky contracts. The best part about Dale is that his services scale to the studio so even someone as small as us were able to benefit from him while remaining very affordable.

I highly highly recommend Dale for anyone who’s in the market for video game legal services. He’s made our lives a lot easier and is an absolute joy to work with.

 When we first started, none of us on the team had any prior experience incorporating, creating contracts, or even what a good deal from a publisher looks like. Yet, with Dale’s dedication and expertise we were able to do so. The level of detail he operates at is truly remarkable and you can tell just by talking with him that he’s deeply passionate about helping indie devs find their footing in an often turbulent environment. I can say with confidence that we would not be where we’re at as a studio without Dale’s service and I can’t recommend him enough.

His sage advice, ample patience, and legal expertise helped my indie studio succeed in an increasingly complicated industry.

He guided us through some incredibly complex contracts and negotiations with a level of clarity and expertise that’s hard to find. He’s quick to respond, easy to talk to, and always upfront— just honest, solid advice. His deep understanding of the video game industry, especially in Canada, made a huge difference in helping us navigate the legal landscape. If you’re in the games business and need a lawyer who truly gets it, Dale is the person you want on your side.

His expertise and ability to explain legal issues, choices and their effects, has made all the difference!  We always learn something and make informed decisions because of his efforts. This, and the professionalism, attention to detail, and genuine care for our success, are just a few of  the reasons we trust and recommend Dale.

Thanks to his deep knowledge of the videogames industry, he is uniquely great at explaining the legal issues we’ve approached him with in an approachable, yet detail-oriented, manner. Dale’s reliable advice, prompt responses, and reasonable rates has made growing Vertex Pop as a studio much more manageable.

His experience with the games industry provided insights we otherwise would not have had, and he would take the time to break down unfamiliar terms or situations if there was something we didn’t understand. We truly felt that Dale cared about the success and growth of our studio, and would be happy to recommend him to anyone finding themselves in a similar situation as ours! 

Dale is an expert in his area and understands the game development sector. This knowledge Dale provides, helps us with options that best reflect our goals, values and direction. When working with Dale I know I am working with someone that’s invested in us, our goals and building a relationship.

When I incorporated my company, I needed someone to help me get my house in order, and Dale came highly recommended. He ensured I understood the ins and outs of running a business and helped me review my existing contracts to ensure they aligned with the company’s needs. Whenever I have questions, Dale is always available to provide clear guidance — and all at a fair rate, which I greatly appreciate as a small independent studio.

Dale has assisted us in setting up our company and making and reviewing contracts. Throughout, he has been easy to reach and has taken care to explain each step very thoroughly. 

He went through all my existing files, handled the IP transfer agreements, wrote contracts, everything—all quickly, clearly, and with no time-wasting confusion.

What stood out most was how thorough and responsive he was. Every question I had was met with a detailed, thoughtful answer that made the entire process straightforward on my end. He’s consistently available for follow-ups, and never made me feel nickel-and-dimed for asking questions.

He also offered me a discounted rate recognizing that my studio is brand new, equity-seeking, and working with limited funding, which I appreciated more than I can say.
