Blaney McMurtry Welcomes New Partner, Kenneth Szeto

April 13, 2026

Ken is a partner in the Corporate/Commercial and M&A group at Blaney McMurtry LLP, where he advises technology companies, tech-enabled businesses, and growth-stage enterprises on their most consequential transactions and commercial matters.

Ken brings a perspective that is rare in private practice: before returning to law, he spent a decade as General Counsel in the technology industry, including leading the 2021 TSX IPO of Q4 Inc. and the company’s subsequent $257 million take-private sale to Sumeru Equity Partners in 2024. That experience, sitting at the table as an operator, not just an advisor, shaped how he approaches every mandate. He understands that legal work does not exist in a vacuum, and that the best counsel accounts for business context, board dynamics, and the practical realities of running a company.

His practice spans M&A transactions (including search fund acquisitions and lower middle market deals), fund formation, commercial agreements, employment matters, and cross-border work involving U.S. and Canadian jurisdictions. He is admitted to practice in Ontario and the State of New York, and has practiced at leading firms in both Toronto and New York.

Ken holds an engineering degree, which informs his structured, problem-solving approach to legal complexity. He is a trusted advisor to founders, executives, and entrepreneurs who want a lawyer that can speak the language of business as fluently as the language of law.
