Furthermore, Osler’s IP group is closely involved in major commercial transactions driven by Osler’s M&A department, which is consistently ranked in league tables as the leading M&A practice in Canada.

Osler’s Intellectual Property Department offers IP expertise and service across a breadth of specialty areas, with significant expertise in areas as diverse as biotechnology; aeronautics; chemistry; and mechanical, chemical and software engineering.
