David Wotherspoon is a strategic-minded commercial litigator with a broad-ranging practice including crisis management and defamation, anti-counterfeiting, social media, intellectual property, and technology. He has acted for clients large and small in various industries, as well as for individuals. One of David’s corporate clients has said he “has the strongest client relationship skills of any lawyer I’ve worked with in Canada or the US. I’ve lost count of the number of matters he’s gone to court for me, and he has never lost any of them.” When it comes to early resolution, one client said, “Any company would be well served in retaining him to advise them when they need a win-win outcome for both sides." Many of his cases have involved protecting businesses that have been targeted in a way that requires intense and swift action and often injunctions to safeguard clients' rights. He is consistently ranked in numerous publications for his expertise. David is extensively engaged in pro bono cases, taking on several opportunities to represent those who would otherwise have difficulty in accessing or navigating the justice system. David was called to the British Columbia Bar in 1992.
