A trusted voice in a complex area of law
GSJ&Co. is the only Canadian law firm dedicated to advising food professionals, manufacturers, distributors, importers, and exporters.
Canada's Boutique Food Law Firm
Since 2013, GSJ&Co. has combined regulatory, commercial, and corporate law with deep food sector knowledge.
We act for companies at every stage of the food value chain: multinationals entering the Canadian market, national manufacturers managing compliance across facilities, mid-market companies navigating CFIA enforcement, and startups bringing a novel product to market.
Every matter is handled personally by Glenford Jameson.
What We Do
When CFIA is involved, or before it needs to be. Enforcement response, recall management, licensing, and preventive controls.
Labels, claims, packaging compliance, and market entry. We review labels for clients ranging from single-product startups to multinationals with hundreds of SKUs.
Import and export compliance, co-packing, contract manufacturing, and the regulatory relationships that move food across borders.
Commercial agreements, regulatory due diligence, corporate formation, and the food-specific provisions that generalist counsel miss.
Custom food law and regulatory training for industry teams. Legal, regulatory affairs, and QA/QC audiences. Half-day, full-day, and custom programmes.
Adjacent Sectors
Our regulatory and commercial work extends to sectors that intersect with food: pet food, plastics and packaging, consumer packaged goods, alcohol and beverage, and cosmetics. The regulatory frameworks overlap.
Companies in these sectors work with us because the food-specific regulatory knowledge transfers.
International Counsel
Canadian regulatory counsel for foreign firms
Law firms from the United States, Europe, Latin America, and Asia retain us as Canadian regulatory counsel when their clients need to access the Canadian market. We provide the regulatory analysis, label review, and compliance framework.
The referring firm keeps the client relationship; we supply the Canadian food law expertise.
We also work extensively with law firms and food lawyers from around the world. No matter where a product goes to market, we can connect clients with experienced, international counsel who can manage matters locally.
If your firm has a client with a Canadian food regulatory question, contact us at info@gsjameson.com or +1 (647) 638-3994.
