Intellectual PropertyIntellectual PropertyAbout Jasleen Chahal
Jasleen Chahal helps businesses acquire, protect and enforce their trademark rights, both in Canada and abroad. A registered trademark agent as well as an associate in Gowling WLG's Toronto office, Jasleen is part of the firm's Intellectual Property Group, and the clients range widely in size and industry. The work runs from trademark filings and IP litigation to the strategy behind brand portfolios that span several countries.
Science came first. Jasleen studied kinesiology at Waterloo, then earned a master's in physiology at the University of Toronto, where diabetes research led to a peer-reviewed paper in the journal Pancreas. A JD from Western followed in 2017, with concentrations in IP and information technology law, and Jasleen was called to the Ontario bar in 2018. Along the way came a role as senior counsel on a major Canadian bank's IP team, helping with a broad range of that bank's intellectual property needs.
Beyond trademarks, Jasleen drafts contracts such as research and licensing agreements and supports the IP side of transactions run by Gowling WLG's corporate M&A group. Jasleen works in both English and Punjabi. The Legal 500 Canada named Jasleen a Rising Star for intellectual property in its 2023 edition and a Leading Associate in 2026, and Best Lawyers has included Jasleen in Ones to Watch in Canada for IP law since 2024.
