Managing Intellectual Property ranks us as the 2012 Canadian Patent Prosecution, Trademark Prosecution and Trademark Contentious Firm of the Year. In addition, Managing Intellectual Property awarded the Firm “Case of the Year 2012 – Trademark,” Thomson Reuters ranks us as the #1 Canadian law firm for volume of M&A deals completed in Q1 2012, The Best Lawyers in Canada ranks us as a #1 IP Firm in Canada, and reputable sources from Lexpert to Chambers and Partners identify our professionals as industry leaders.
