Located in Catalyst Commons™ in the Catalyst137™ complex, we’re just minutes away from Waterloo Region’s world class universities and incubators, and within easy reach of the Region’s many innovative and exceptional technology, engineering, and advanced manufacturing companies, and blossoming coworking spaces and studios for creatives.



The firm’s focus is on intellectual property law, in the following key practice areas.



For startups, we’re here to help you prioritize and put together an effective plan to protect your business ideas, innovations, brands, and artistic works at fees that are fair and affordable, so that you can quickly get on your way to launch your business venture with your valuable IP protected. NAHM IP LAW™ is a proud sponsor and member of the Communitech® Pro Squad™ Team, and available to Communitech® clients for complimentary IP consultations through the Pro Squad™ Portal.

For scaleups and more established businesses, let us apply our decades of IP experience to work with you as your “part-time inhouse IP counsel”, and help you map out your IP strategy to compete more effectively and continue to grow.

For larger companies and enterprises, we offer a more cost effective option for filing, prosecuting and managing your valuable IP portfolio, utilizing professional IP management and docketing software that will keep your data secure, and provide you with convenient access to the status of your IP cases whenever your inhouse IP team needs it. Let’s discuss ways to get your IP budget under control, maintain your IP portfolio more efficiently, and focus on protecting and exploiting your most valuable IP that is strategic to your business.

If you run a law practice or a law firm without inhouse IP expertise, we’d love to work with you as your trusted partner for IP due diligence in transactions, or for any other IP issues or needs facing your clients. We will always appreciate your referrals, and respect your client relationships by keeping you in the loop.
