Paul Smith

Paul believes in professionalism and in providing prompt and effective advice, advocacy, and services to the firm’s clients. He enjoys litigating intellectual property cases and handling difficult patent prosecution cases, like those relating to computer-implemented inventions.

He has proven himself a serious and tenacious litigator in the Federal Court, the Federal Court of Appeal, the British Columbia Supreme Court, the British Columbia Court of Appeal, and, earlier in his career, the Ontario courts. Paul has acted as an officer of the court in his capacity as an Independent Supervising Solicitor on the execution of an Anton Piller Order.

Fluently bilingual, Paul easily pleads in French when the need arises.

An avid sportsman, Paul was a competitive curler in his younger years, dabbled in skydiving and paragliding, and presently plays hockey or squash a few times a week. He also enjoys tennis whenever friends are available and is a novice kiteboarder.

Garth Leslie

Garth holds Mechanical Engineering and law degrees from the University of Alberta. Before entering law school, Garth worked in roles related to resource discovery, extraction, and refinement.

In his spare time, Garth enjoys skiing and mountain biking, playing guitar, and playing tabletop games with friends.
