- Guiding clients in identifying and safeguarding their intellectual property assets through comprehensive IP audits.
- Collaborating with our team and partners to ensure the consistent delivery of IP programs to benefit our clients.
- Assist founders in engaging and negotiating with their IP lawyers.
- Facilitating interactive workshops and group sessions to share knowledge and foster collaborative learning on IP-related topics.
- Offering insights on emerging IP trends and industry-specific best practices to keep clients informed and competitive in their respective fields.
- Facilitating introductions and connections between clients and potential IP partners or legal experts, contributing to their growth and success.

We would love to hear from you if you:

- Have a proven track record of guiding early-stage tech companies in IP strategy.
- Possess a deep understanding of IP rights, including patents, trademarks, copyrights, and trade secrets.
- Have a well-established network within the Canadian innovation ecosystem and pre-existing relationships with key IP institutions and government-supported programs.
- Have experience mentoring and advising individuals or teams in IP-related matters.
- Can quickly assess IP challenges faced by tech companies and provide timely guidance and support.
- Have excellent emotional intelligence, enabling you to build trustful relationships and communicate effectively through active listening.
- Are passionate about seeing founders succeed but are willing to have difficult conversations to help them grow.
- Are predominantly located in the Ottawa region and can attend in-person meetings and events when necessary.
