After about 25 years in private practice, I am offering my websites, blogs, domain names, content and related intellectual property for sale.
My portfolio of websites, blogs, home website and content would be appropriate for a solo lawyer, small group of lawyers or relevant practice group in a larger firm.
My practice over the past 25 years or so has focused on Canadian competition, advertising/marketing, contest (promotional contests), provincial consumer protection law and CASL (Canadian federal anti-spam law).
The portfolio of web and intellectual property assets that I am offering for sale would include the following domain names and related content: www.ipvancouverblog.com, www.canadianadvertisinglaw.com, www.competitionlawyer.ca and www.contestlawyer.ca.
These blogs and websites consistently rank (and have ranked for many years) on page 1-3 of Google and other search engines, and regularly generate files in these relevant practice areas.
Also, given the rise of AI, my sites generally feature prominently in many AI related searches related to my core areas of practice, including Canadian competition/antitrust law, advertising/marketing law, contest/sweepstakes law (and related contest/sweepstakes precedents and legal forms), CASL (Canadian federal anti-spam law) and provincial/territorial Canadian consumer protection laws.
My blogs, websites and content generate consistent files in the above areas of practice (i.e., in the Canadian competition, advertising/marketing, contest/sweepstakes, provincial consumer protection law and CASL (federal anti-spam law) areas and commonly lead to projects and cross-referalls with firms in related and other areas of law).
For more information, confidential price and term sheet and any other questions please reach out to me in confidence at: steve@szentesilaw.com or 1.647.346.5087.
Best regards,
Steve Szentesi

On February 17, 2026, Canada’s federal Competition Bureau (Bureau) issued a News Release warning consumers to be careful when entering promotional contests (and by implication for contest sponsors to ensure that they comply with the Competition Act) (see: Promotional Contests: Businesses Owe Consumers Honest Information).
In general, the Bureau warned consumers to be cautious of contests that lack transparency or require unnecessary steps to access the details of a contest. The Bureau also cautioned contest sponsors not to make any false or misleading claims about their contests.

On January 21, 2026, Canada’s Federal Court of Appeal (FCA) dismissed an appeal by Cineplex Inc. (Cineplex) of a 2024 Competition Tribunal (Tribunal) decision that held that Cineplex had engaged in drip pricing contrary to sections 74.01(1)(a) and 74.01(1.1) of Canada’s federal Competition Act (the general civil misleading advertising and civil drip pricing provisions of the Act) (Cineplex Inc. v. Commissioner of Competition, 2026 FCA 10 (CanLII)).
The Tribunal had ordered Cineplex to pay a penalty of $38.9 million for failing to adequately disclose a mandatory $1.50 online booking fee before consumers purchased theatre tickets online (for a discussion of the Tribunal’s decision, see below and link to our earlier blog post).
