Partner, Patent Agent, Head of the Intellectual Property Group

As a full service law firm, BCF is able to draw upon a broad range of legal and other professionals, such as engineers and PhDs, to direct clients developing, implementing, and using AI as a foundation for their business.
Given that AI almost always evolves faster than the law, BCF frequently directs clients on matters involving civil liability, the effects of algorithmic biases, the rights, responsibilities, and accountability of non-human entities, and the protection of intellectual property related to AI. We ensure that our clients are fully compliant with Canadian and European data protection laws and regulations so that business models built upon or using predictive analytics, biometrics, and geo-localisation, among others, are fully compliant.
