Genesis Partners with Cox & Palmer
March 31st, 2021, St. John’s NL: Genesis is unveiling another industry-based partnership to complement its existing portfolio of professional services partners.
Genesis’ latest partnership is with Cox & Palmer, a full-service, top ranked Atlantic Canadian law firm. Cox & Palmer has a proven commitment to supporting startups and small businesses and provides strategic legal counsel at all stages of business growth. While Genesis has had a formal partnership with the law firm since 2019, the new three-year partnership sees Cox & Palmer as the exclusive law firm sponsor of Genesis.
“Cox & Palmer is proud to reinforce our commitment to Genesis. Sharing our startup expertise with their innovative clients will strengthen businesses and will further enhance the startup ecosystem in Newfoundland and Labrador. It’s an investment we strongly believe in,” says Leanne O’Leary, Managing Partner of Cox & Palmer.
Recognizing the unique financial challenges of startups, Cox & Palmer provides emerging companies with affordable, top-quality legal advice and mentoring. Their services for startups include incorporation packages, contract negotiation and drafting, and advice regarding intellectual property, tax strategies and hiring international talent.
Cox & Palmer is building upon that service by providing Genesis clients access to a similar level of expertise through subject matter workshops, office hours, mentoring and continued active engagement with program participants. Cox & Palmer will also provide financial support to Genesis to re-invest into programs and startup development.
“Cox & Palmer has already demonstrated their commitment to the Genesis community and we’re eager to see that relationship continue with our partnership renewal.” Says Colin Corcoran, Director of Finance & Administration at Genesis. “Their community focus and experience in tailoring their services to startups’ needs is the perfect match for our client portfolio.”
Genesis’ recently expanded partnership portfolio also includes Ray Agency, Jump Recruitment, BDO and TD.
