Having celebrated its 50th year in 2013, Shapiro Cohen was founded in 1963 by Norman Shapiro.
It has grown by forming a group of firms, merging with Mantha & Associates, Pascal and Associates, and Baker McLachlen. The firm serves clients in all areas of industry but specializes in advising
companies in the field of new and emerging technologies. It acted on the landmark Federal Court
case involving MGM's roaring lion sound mark, which resulted in sound marks being registerable in
Canada. The firm has seven fully licensed lawyers and its clients include Asten Johnson, Giant Tiger
Stores Ltd., Johnson & Johnson Inc., Virgin Enterprises Ltd., and Hitachi Ltd.
