Gilbert’s Solutions

Gilbert’s Solutions is an innovation consultancy that helps to solve big challenges. We are a results-driven team of advisors and problem-solvers. 

We see big opportunities where there are big challenges. We are committed to tackling important issues facing our world, and we see our clients as partners in this mission. We tailor our advice and solutions into a finely tuned product to fit your needs.

We are also innovators. We create new solutions where we see market gaps. We will go so far as creating new businesses to address those gaps.

Affiliated with Gilbert’s LLP, a boutique law firm of creative professionals serving the needs of innovative clients, we draw on and leverage their deep knowledge and expertise, where appropriate. Gilbert’s LLP is headquartered in Toronto, Canada at the Waterfront Innovation Centre, also with offices in New York City, and soon London, UK.
