Lipkus Law is a premier boutique firm in Toronto that serves as a specialized “shield and sword” for some of the world’s most valuable brands. Established by pioneers Lorne Lipkus and David Lipkus, the firm is best known for its aggressive and innovative approach to intellectual property enforcement, specifically in the realms of anti-counterfeiting, piracy, and online fraud. They bridge the gap between private interests and public enforcement by providing high-level training to police and customs officials on how to identify fakes. Beyond IP, the firm holds a respected position in professional negligence defense and is a recognized authority in Federal Court litigation, having executed thousands of search-and-seizure-related (e.g. Anton Piller) orders across Canada.
