Cassels Brock & Blackwell LLP continued to invest in its IP offering during 2023/24 both laterally and organically. Most notably, it added a duo of litigators from Blake, Cassels & Graydon LLP in Toronto: Andrew Skodyn — who was IP litigation head at his former firm — and Sean Jackson joined in December 2023. Additionally, it elevated Toronto-based IP and IT specialist Marco Ciarlariello to the partnership in January 2024. The growing practice is widely regarded as a go-to team for copyright law, with Toronto-based IP co-chair Casey Chisick recognized as foremost authority in that sphere. Other practice strong suits include anticounterfeiting enforcement, where Vancouver’s Karen MacDonald is a key contact, and IP portfolio management. Toronto-based up-and-coming litigator Jessica Zagar is also recommended.
