Lenczner Slaght Recognized by Chambers Canada for Intellectual Property
Ethier and Skodyn singled out as leading lawyers for Intellectual Property Litigation
Two lawyers from the firm's Intellectual Property Litigation practice were recognized by Chambers Canada in the inaugural edition of Canada's leading lawyers for business in 2016 published in October.
Marguerite Ethier is a ‘highly regarded individual in the IP litigation space. She recently represented Johnson & Johnson as the defendant in a biologics patent infringement case. Ethier is also qualified to practice in California."
Andrew Skodyn "offers impressive depth in patent litigation. His areas of expertise include pharmaceuticals and life sciences, as well as oil and gas"
The Intellectual Property Litigation practice at Lenczner Slaght represents clients covering an extensive range of intellectual property matters in proceedings before the Federal Court, the Federal Court of Appeal, the Ontario Superior Court and the Ontario Court of Appeal.
Our lawyers have also litigated IP cases in the U.S., and they regularly represent U.S.-based corporations on the Canadian aspects of disputes that span multiple jurisdictions.
The 2016 Guide lauded Lenczner Slaght as the ‘highly sought-after boutique with noted market standing across the gamut of commercial litigation matters and extensive experience before the Supreme Court of Canada." Quoting a client interviewed for the directory, "I am really impressed with the firm. They put their finger right on the problem."
The Chambers rankings are the culmination of extensive research with law firm clients and legal professionals.
"The success of a business is closely tied to its ability to protect its intellectual property and trade secrets", explained Peter Griffin, Managing Partner of Lenczner Slaght. "The success rate of our IP litigators in assisting their clients with domestic and international disputes is among the best."
