Alyssa has experience with litigation before the Federal Court and Court of Appeal, the Ontario Superior Court and Small Claims Court, and the Supreme Court of Canada. Outside the courtroom, she has advised the Government of Canada on IP litigation and counseled businesses about IP, licensing, and regulatory issues.  Alyssa also serves the artistic community as Duty Counsel with the Artists’ Legal Advice Services (ALAS) clinic, helping creators with copyright, trademark, contracts, privacy, defamation, and other concerns.\n \n
