Online marketing, remote cross-examination, Zoom socials, social media networking: the practice of intellectual property law changes with every generation, but perhaps never as significantly―and as quickly―as it has recently.

How do you rise to meet the challenges of the current moment as an intellectual property (IP) lawyer in Canada? Please join us for a discussion organized by the Young Practitioners Committee, with three lawyers who have targeted specific industries, leveraged online marketing, and eschewed the traditional “big firm” model for some tips and tricks on how to succeed, find a path, build your brand, and jumpstart your IP practice in the current professional ecosystem.
