Unique Details:
In 2019, the CCLA Library was officially named The Gordon F. Henderson Library. Gordon F. Henderson, CC QC (1912–1993) was an intellectual property lawyer who joined Henderson Herridge & Gowling (now Gowling WLG) in 1937, and later became its chairman. He was known for his advocacy on intellectual property matters as well as his involvement with intellectual property organizations throughout his career. Gordon Henderson was not just an IP lawyer; he excelled in every branch of the law he touched. His love of learning and of the law, as well as his high ethical and work standards infected all who were exposed to him. Within the Library, visitors can now find both a portrait of Gordon F. Henderson and an art installation dedicated to his life and influence in the community. To learn more about Gordon F. Henderson, please click here
