As an intellectual property specialist, Smart & Biggar is perfectly positioned to advise on IP-related cannabis matters, including IP strategy and transactions, patent and trademark prosecution and IP litigation. The firm’s robust life sciences offering further marks it as a key contender for mandates concerning life sciences regulation and marketing and advertising law. Toronto-based group head Alice Tseng — who is additionally a qualified pharmacist and patent agent — is recommended for regulatory work, while Toronto’s Graham Hood is noted for IP issues.
