Free consultationAbout The Muscovitch Law Firm
The Muscovitch Law Firm is a Toronto business and intellectual property practice with a single principal, Zak Muscovitch. Muscovitch was called to the Bar of Ontario in 1999, after earning a Bachelor of Arts from the University of Western Ontario and a law degree from Osgoode Hall Law School, and is a registered trademark agent before the Canadian Intellectual Property Office and the United States Patent and Trademark Office. The firm advises startups and established companies on incorporations, contracts, and business purchases and sales, and it counsels internet based businesses such as e-commerce companies, web developers, software developers, and domain name portfolio owners.
Muscovitch has practiced domain name law since 1999 and has acted as counsel in more than 100 contested UDRP, CDRP, and other domain name dispute proceedings, representing both complainants and respondents. Early work included the Toronto.com case in 2000, one of the first Canadian disputes to involve an attempted injunction against a domain name registrant, and later disputes with Google over the Groovle.com domain. The firm also operates DNattorney.com as an extension of that practice, and Muscovitch serves as General Counsel of the Internet Commerce Association, a trade association for domain name investors and internet commerce businesses.

The neighbourhood
The Muscovitch Law Firm's office is a suite in a commercial building on Lawrence Avenue West in Toronto. Unlike a firm that depends on local walk-in clients, its domain name and trademark work reaches well past that street. Muscovitch's case history includes disputes involving parties in the United States, England, Australia, Brazil, and China. The Toronto office functions less as a storefront and more as a base for work that is, by its nature, conducted online and across borders.
