Lotz & Company

What Lotz & Company does

Lotz & Company is a privately held boutique law firm founded in 2013 by Jonathan Lotz in Vancouver, British Columbia, with a secondary office in Langley, BC. The firm provides corporate, commercial, securities, banking and finance, M&A, mining and natural resources, real estate, immigration, and international law and arbitration services through its affiliated law corporation, Lotz Law Corporation. It maintains a 5-person team — one founder/lawyer, two lawyers, one associate, and one paralegal — focused on complex transactional mandates for public and private companies, with particular depth in the mining and natural resources sector. The firm is a member of GA-Alliance, a network of independent law firms spanning more than 70 jurisdictions, which it uses to source and execute cross-border mandates.

The firm's business model is a traditional professional services revenue engine: clients are billed through hourly fees, fixed fees for specific matters, and transaction-based fees for deals such as IPOs, plans of arrangement, and private placements. Pricing is not publicly disclosed. Go-to-market is sales-led and referral-driven rather than marketing-led, relying on the founder's industry reputation, professional networks, GA-Alliance referrals, and a published Transactions/Insights feed rather than paid acquisition channels. Recent disclosed mandates include spin-out transactions, plans of arrangement, IPOs on TSXV and CSE, and private placements ranging from $600,000 to $25 million in size, primarily for mining and natural resource issuers.

Core technology is limited to standard legal services practice management; no proprietary platform, API, AI tooling, or technology product is offered. Competitive advantage rests on the senior team's prior national-firm experience (notably at Heenan Blaikie LLP), vertical specialization in mining and natural resources, and the international reach provided by GA-Alliance membership. The firm is founder-led, with no institutional investors, parent company, or acquisition activity disclosed.
