We conclude Season 1 of our 'In Conversation with Gowling WLG' podcast series with a special two-part episode, as global intellectual property partner Gordon Harris speaks to Robert MacDonald – a veritable legend of the IP world, a former colleague and long-time friend.

We delve deep into IP, hearing Robert's high points and challenges, anecdotes, and advice garnered from an illustrious international career spanning four decades.

In Part 2, Gordon Harris continues his conversation with IP legend Robert MacDonald, as the pair talk:

• Robert's role and his memories from the merger of Gowling Lafleur Henderson LLP in Canada and Wragge and Co in the UK, and the longstanding relationship between the two firms;
• Intellectual property litigation in Canada, international client work and the seeds of transatlantic collaboration at the sharp end of IP; and
• hopes for the future of the sector, moving onwards and upwards, and handing over the leadership reins to the next generation of IP stars.

Our 'In Conversation' series delves into the world of intellectual property, speaking with leading figures in industry. Throughout the series, we build a picture of how the IP world works, gathering insight into the latest trends and developments.
