Dominique Hussey Wins McGill Excellence Award as Trailblazer in Law

Dominique Hussey won the Impact Award at the 6th annual McGill Toronto Excellence ceremony. 

Since she graduated from McGill with Bachelor of Science and Law degrees, Dom has built a stellar career as an accomplished lawyer and leader in the profession. After working at firms in Ottawa and New York (where she also earned a master’s from Columbia Law School), Dom joined Bennett Jones in Toronto. She is now the firm’s Vice Chair and Toronto Managing Partner and leads its Intellectual Property Litigation group.

Dom has earned many accolades for her work, including the Law Firm Leaders Award in 2021 at the inaugural Chambers Canada Awards for her role as managing partner – a position she took on the year before in the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic. It highlighted her leadership skills, her work as an IP litigator and her commitment to her community. She received the Managing IP’s “Outstanding Practitioner in Patent Law” honour in its 2020 Americas Awards and was a finalist in 2022.
