Special counsel Rohan Singh has left the firm.
Canada
DLA Piper's IP team in Canada is respected by market commentators. Its merger with Stratton and Dimock resulted in two top-rated IP lawyers, Bruce Stratton and Ron Dimock, and their team joining the firm. Chris Bennett, who is experienced in soft IP counselling, is co-chair of the firm's IP/technology practice. Other notable IP practitioners in the firm are Alan Macek, Geoffrey Mowatt, and Sangeetha Punniyamoorthy. The team advises companies such as BMW, Goldcorp, and Mountain Equipment Co-op.

A client from the retail industry says Lam is an "experienced practitioner who also leads a good team of practitioners to deliver excellent advice". William (Skip) Fisher recently joined the firm as a partner and head of patent in China. A client comments on Fisher's expertise: "Excellent advice on anti-counterfeiting strategy.

DLA Piper provides both contentious and non-contentious advice to clients belonging to a broad range of industry sectors. Partner Edward Chatterton leads the firm's Hong Kong IP team. A client says: "Ed is bright, thoughtful and a reliable expert on trade mark law in Hong Kong. He communicates issues and strategies in a cogent and thoughtful manner." "The Hong Kong team is extremely knowledgeable about trade mark issues in the region, including the complicated workings of the Chinese system. We know that we can always depend on them for thoughtful and practical advice that takes into account business practicalities," the client adds.
Netherlands
DLA Piper’s Dutch IP team deals with contentious and non-contentious soft IP issues.

According to one client, Mulder is “creative and knows a lot”. Another client says he is “outstandingly efficient”. There are associates in the firm's IP department including rising stars Matthijs Schonewille and Charlotte Sophie van Triest. Schonewille gets “to the point and gets things done” for clients. The team “takes down counterfeiters in a smooth and efficient manner”, a brand owner notes. Soft IP case studies show the team is experienced in pan-European trade mark enforcement work, acting for companies such as Moët Hennessy and Nike. In 2018, the team obtained an important web blocking order on behalf of Premier League.
