Tech startup trademark case
Intellectual Property Trademark

Tech Startup Saves Brand Identity

A Toronto-based SaaS company came to us in a panic. They'd been building their brand for three years when a U.S. competitor filed a trademark application that was way too close for comfort. We jumped on it fast - filed an opposition, gathered evidence of their prior use, and worked out a coexistence agreement that let both companies keep their names in their respective markets.

"They didn't just save our trademark - they saved years of brand building. The speed and clarity they brought to what felt like a nightmare situation was honestly impressive."

Manufacturing acquisition case
Mergers & Acquisitions

Mid-Market Manufacturing Acquisition

Our client wanted to acquire a competitor with 40 years of history. Sounds straightforward until you dig into the details - legacy contracts with unclear terms, environmental compliance questions, and a pension plan that needed serious attention. We handled the due diligence, restructured the deal to protect our client from hidden liabilities, and negotiated earn-out provisions that made sense for everyone.

"The level of detail they brought to due diligence caught issues that would've cost us millions down the road. Worth every penny."

Patent infringement case
Litigation IP Protection

Patent Dispute Resolution

A medical device company got hit with an infringement claim from a larger player trying to squeeze them out of the market. Classic David vs Goliath stuff. We dug deep into the patent's prosecution history, found some weaknesses in their claims, and built a strong invalidity argument. After some strategic motion practice, they came to the table and we settled on terms that let our client keep doing business without licensing fees.

"We were terrified of being forced out of business. Their technical knowledge and aggressive defense strategy gave us our company back."

Distribution agreement case
Contract Negotiation

International Distribution Deal

A consumer goods company needed to lock down exclusive distribution rights across Western Europe. The other side came with a standard agreement that was basically all upside for them. We rewrote major sections dealing with minimum order quantities, termination rights, and intellectual property protections. The back-and-forth took patience but we landed on terms that actually protected our client's interests while keeping the relationship positive.

"They turned a one-sided agreement into a partnership that's been working great for two years now. The provisions they insisted on have already saved us from potential disasters."

Fashion brand trademark case
Trademark Brand Strategy

Fashion Brand Portfolio Protection

A growing fashion brand came to us with a messy IP situation - trademarks registered in some provinces but not others, tons of designs but no formal protection strategy. We audited everything they had, prioritized what needed immediate protection, and built out a comprehensive trademark portfolio covering their main brand, sub-brands, and key design elements. Then we set up monitoring to catch knockoffs early.

"We were flying blind before. Now we've got a clear strategy and we're catching counterfeiters before they become real problems."

Partnership dispute case
Dispute Resolution Business Litigation

Partnership Dissolution & Asset Split

Two 50-50 partners in a successful consulting firm reached a breaking point and couldn't agree on how to move forward. Neither wanted to walk away empty-handed. We facilitated tough conversations, brought in a business valuator, and structured a buyout that let one partner keep the business while the other got fair value plus a consultant role for transition. Avoided what could've been a nasty court battle.

"They kept us focused on practical solutions instead of letting emotions blow this up into expensive litigation. Both of us walked away satisfied."
