Data Use and Privacy Compliance 
Data is fundamental to AI, making expertise in data privacy and protection law essential. We advise clients on all aspects of data collection, storage, usage and sharing, ensuring compliance with Canadian and international regulations, including the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA).

AI technologies are subject to a complex and dynamic regulatory landscape that varies across jurisdictions and industries. Our team provides guidance on compliance with industry-specific regulations, including those applicable to healthcare, finance and transportation at both the provincial and federal levels. We continuously monitor legal and regulatory developments, providing clients with timely updates and strategic advice to ensure ongoing compliance, mitigate risk and capitalize on emerging opportunities. 

Intellectual Property 
Protecting AI innovations is essential. Our team assists clients in securing robust intellectual property protection — covering patents, copyrights, trademarks and trade secrets — for their AI technologies, algorithms and related developments. We also advise on licensing and commercialization strategies tailored to your business objectives.
