More information

Despite its many advantages, technology is often the focus of complex, strategically significant disputes. Specialized legal advisors are needed to minimize litigation risk and navigate disputes effectively while balancing business needs and drivers. 

Our national team of Technology Disputes lawyers has significant experience assisting clients from diverse sectors, including companies investing in or developing innovations. Leveraging multidisciplinary expertise and working with other Blakes specialists experienced in technology-related matters, our litigators think creatively to find resolutions or advance our clients’ interests in litigation or arbitrations. Our goal is to help clients achieve outcomes that advance their business objectives. 

We have extensive experience in high-value and precedent-setting technology disputes, representing clients in both trial and appellate courts across Canada. Applying specialized industry knowledge and expertise in technology law, our team members handle issues such as commercial disputes involving technology assets, licensing, complex services and project implementations, data breaches, privacy investigations, and intellectual property rights. We help our clients succeed in areas including:

  • Complex Litigation: Our team navigates disputes involving technology contracts, technology asset transactions, IT litigation complexities related to technology licensing, systems implementation and services disputes, product liability, data breaches and cybersecurity. In all cases, we have an eye to risk management and tailored dispute-resolution options.
  • Intellectual Property Protection: Our specialized litigators prosecute and defend IP infringement claims, including patent, trademark and copyright.
  • AI Technology Disputes: We address disputes arising from the development, implementation or use of artificial intelligence (AI) technology, including violations of AI-related agreements.
  • Compliance and Risk Management: Our litigators work with compliance specialists to help companies satisfy the increasing legal obligations around data privacy and security. We respond to crises, conduct audits, draft policies, and provide training to minimize the risk of data breaches and ensure compliance with laws and regulations.
  • Public Policy: To get ahead of disputes, our multidisciplinary team provides strategic advice on developing legislation and regulations, such as proposals to regulate online speech and AI, legislation on children’s privacy rights, and related issues that are top of mind for our social media and other technology-platform clients.
