Gray & Silicon Legal Advisors is proud to announce two major milestones in its growth journey: the formal merger with Lexfin Partners, effective October 1, 2025, and the launch of Gray & Silicon Canada, its first North American office. The combined firm will continue under the name Gray & Silicon.

The merger unites two firms with shared values and complementary expertise. Gray & Silicon is a trusted adviser to clients in the creative and technology sectors, while Lexfin Partners, founded in 2013, has built over a decade of success advising clients in finance, corporate, and commercial law.

With this merger and North American launch, Gray & Silicon becomes one of the few African-founded firms with an operational presence on both continents, uniquely positioned to serve clients navigating IP, finance, and technology regulation across Africa and the Western Hemisphere.

Global Expansion: Gray & Silicon Canada

The new office, Gray & Silicon Canada, located in Toronto, Ontario, will serve as the firm’s North American hub. It will focus on assisting North American businesses expanding into African markets, as well as African startups and corporates seeking North American partnerships and financing. This expansion strengthens the firm’s role as a cross-border bridge between both continents.
