TORONTO, Sept. 24, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Gowling WLG is
delighted to announce that Toronto-based partners Selena Kim and Malcolm
Ruby have been selected for inclusion in Canadian
Lawyer's 2020 "Top 25 Most Influential Lawyers" list.
This distinction is not only a testament to both lawyers'
ability to achieve successful outcomes in highly complex matters,
but also serves as meaningful recognition of their clients'
significant success in recent years.
"From managing global intellectual property portfolios to
spearheading landmark class action suits, Selena and Malcolm pair
fresh perspectives with strategic insights to generate highly
successful outcomes for their clients," said Mark Ledwell, managing partner of Gowling WLG's
Toronto office. "Congratulations
to both of them on this tremendous achievement."
Selena Kim
Selena Kim is a Law Society of
Ontario Certified Specialist in intellectual property (patents,
trademarks and copyright) and is the first woman in the law
society's history to hold the designation for patents. She focuses
her practice on helping clients manage, protect, enforce and
commercialize a range of intangible assets – including patents,
designs, copyright, and trademarks.
Whether being represented in court or making inroads into new
jurisdictions, Selena's clients deeply value her strategic approach
to the multifaceted challenges they face as they grow their
business and expand their IP portfolios.
Malcolm Ruby
A senior member of the litigation bar who is routinely ranked
among the country's top litigators, Malcolm
Ruby focuses his practice on class actions, securities
litigation, and cross-border disputes. Over the course of his
career, he has successfully represented clients in a number of
high-stakes and high-profile matters, all of which demand a keen
ability to navigate intricate, and oftentimes uncharted, legal
territory.
Early last year, Malcolm led Gowling WLG's litigation team in
working alongside Colonel Michel
Drapeau to achieve a remarkable victory on behalf of a class
of disabled Canadian Forces veterans in the nationally certified
class proceeding Raymond Michael
Toth v. Her Majesty the Queen (2019 FC 125). The
Federal Court approved an all-inclusive "mega-fund" settlement of
$100 million for disabled veterans
and their families, along with funds to cover legal fees and
disbursements.
More recently, Malcolm, again in collaboration with Colonel
Drapeau, commenced a proposed class proceeding against gun
manufacturer Smith & Wesson Corp. on behalf of the victims of
the 2018 Danforth Avenue shooting in Toronto and their families.
