In a landscape seeing increasing international entries into the Canadian legal marketplace, one player making marked ripples is Australian publicly-traded company IPH Ltd. Unveiling a stellar impact in the intellectual property bar, IPH has reportedly drawn three of Canada’s most prestigious IP firms into its fold within the span of the last year and a half. All these firms, rich with a storied past dating back to the 1890s, have now joined IPH.
IPH’s footprint is not only evident in Canada and its homeland, Australia. It also includes firms in diverse regions including China, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Malaysia, New Zealand, the Philippines, Singapore, and Thailand.
The shake-up also arrives as a number of full-service national firms are bolstering their IP teams.
