Canada Practitioner of the Year - Patent Disputes
Congratulations to Goodmans partner Andrew Brodkin, named Canada Practitioner of the Year (Patent Disputes).

He also heads the Dispute Resolution Group, and focuses his practice on high stakes intellectual property litigation where he has been described as “having had more successes than anyone in this practice area in history” (Who’s Who Legal) and as “the undisputed IP litigator in Canada” (Chambers Canada).
Canada Firm of the Year - Patent Disputes
Goodmans has also been awarded the Canada Firm of the Year - Patent Disputes. Whether asserting intellectual property or defending against IP claims, the Goodmans Intellectual Property Group has unparalleled experience litigating complex and high-stakes IP litigation.
