THE INDUSTRY HAS SPOKEN

Year after year, our professionals and industry practices are recognized by some of the world's most respected legal publications. 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 law firm for volume of Canadian M&A deals completed in 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.

While we are certainly proud of our multiple top-tier rankings, our most important recognition comes from our clients, who appreciate the value we deliver; our peers, who acknowledge our innovation and leadership; and all our employees, who helped us rank as one of the 2012 Best Employers in Canada for the second time.
