Regulatory compliance
We help our clients stay compliant and navigate legislative and market conduct
Our national IP team boasts 40+ patent and trademark agents, many with advanced degrees in tech, whose goal is to protect and enforce
your IP in the most efficient and cost-effective way.
We are skilled IP litigators and understand the tricky nuances of IP when it
comes to AI inventions.
Tech-focused IP team
We are industry participants, not spectators. Building AI tools for our clients, working closely with AI institutes like Mila and using AI software to optimize our own processes gives us direct experience with the power of AI and the best ways to mitigate risks.
Skin in the game
You name it, we know it. Healthcare, supply chain, energy, financial services, aviation, automotive, accounting, retail, products, marine, government — AI is creating opportunities and challenges for them all, and BLG has the relationships and experience you need to see what’s ahead.
Sector-specific expertise
Let us be a part of your long-term digital vision
We cover all sides of the transaction and frequently act as counsel to investors, funds, entrepreneurs, and financial service providers in relation to coin or token offerings, digital asset-focused fund formation, equity and debt financing, and initial public offerings.
We have the full picture to evaluate and advise at any step.
Financing and capital markets
We are frequently consulted on legal and regulatory questions and challenges that financial services providers face, including Canada’s largest banks, financial institutions, payment networks, acquirers, issuers, FinTechs, other alternative financial services providers, governmental bodies, authorities and regulators, as well as global businesses with Canadian activities.
We help our clients stay compliant and navigate legislative and market conduct requirements in payment servicing and processing, cards, anti-money laundering/
anti-terrorist financing, economic sanctions, consumer protection, and corporate governance, as well as anticipating how new and evolving regulatory landscapes may impact products and service offerings, such
as in the areas of open banking and
retail payments.
We can assist you on consumer protection compliance requirements, evolving open banking considerations, usage of personal data, risk management, incident response plans and crisis management.
Privacy and data protection
Corporate commercial and M&A
Whether you are looking to develop new financial services and product programs, execute M&A transactions, or enter into a partnership or joint venture transaction, we can help make your deal a reality. We can also help you structure B2B and B2C contracts, license and outsource technology, and negotiate agreements with financial service providers and financial institutions.
Financial services businesses deal with highly sensitive information and a breach of any size can lead to major loss. BLG’s privacy and data protection team is globally recognized and was awarded a national top-tier ranking by Chambers in 2022.
