Bennett Jones LLP
Bennett Jones LLP’s oil and gas offering is reflected in its patent practice, where it maintains a dominant position in oilfield-related issues. The group additionally boosted its profile in the agriculture and TMT areas with the recent hires of food and agriculture-focused IP partner Lorelei Graham and Fred Barbieri, who specializes in IP prosecution — the duo arrive from Norton Rose Fulbright in Toronto and Ottawa respectively. Dominique Hussey spearheads the IP litigation practice and is highly regarded for life sciences disputes and energy-related patent and trademark litigation. Stephen Burns focuses on the IP aspects of energy and infrastructure projects and transactions.
