“Setting the tone from the top is Janice Bereskin, “an efficient and practical partner who provides business-savvy advice”. She manages the whole trademark and design portfolio for Canada Goose, in addition to dealing with local and international infringement, counterfeiting and enforcement issues. Looking further into the prosecution team, Susan Keri, Mina Chana, Terry Edwards, Meghan Dillon and Jonathan Burkinshaw all stand out. “Keri superbly manages large portfolios” for her clients and has established long-lasting connections with them. “Mina is essential to the success of her customers’ businesses and in the assessment of commercial goals. She responds swiftly, finds inventive ways to achieve business objectives, and simplifies complicated issues.” “Terry offers succinct, business-focused counsel that is level-headed and realistic, making her a go-to for prosecution.” “You can rely on Meghan to provide sound, timely and practical legal advice that considers a global perspective. No greater partner exists for brand owners.” For Johnson & Johnson, Burkinshaw oversees the entire Canadian portfolio, which includes well-known brands such as Neutrogena and Listerine. In Montreal, Brigitte Chan and François Larose are on hand. “Brigitte is a shining light. She is a sharp, articulate and tireless legal partner, who is also a genuine pleasure to work with.” Larose oversees the prosecution of marks for a major American film and entertainment studio. While the set has a reputation for excellence in prosecution, it also has a stellar litigation offering, made up of Donald Cameron, Mark Robbins and Scott MacKendrick. Everything from life sciences to telecommunications falls within Cameron’s remit, and he consistently hammers out the right results. Robbins devises future-proofed strategies for foreign trademark owners, and MacKendrick handles disputes with a deft touch. Last, but not least, Daniel Bereskin has built the firm into the powerhouse it is today, and there is no conundrum that he cannot solve.”
