That’s how we work.

We know our clients’ markets and their day-to-day business. We pay attention to personal support, many of our clients see us as an extension of their legal department.

Our work for companies in sectors such as luxury goods, automotive, technology, energy, fashion, media, digital services or foodstuffs confronts us with questions of IP, competition, e-commerce, media and anti-trust law on a daily basis. Our clients are start-ups, national champions and global market leaders. We do not represent copycats or free riders.

We are internationally active and have an excellent global network at our disposal. We are efficient and enjoy our work.

Cooperation as a Factor of Success

We avoid unnecessary conflict. At the same time we see resolute litigation as the most important remedy against infringers. There is a simple recipe for successful proceedings: intensive cooperation between lawyer and client – whether in strategic litigation or in swift trouble shooting.

Our word holds true for court and opponent.

We devote a lot of time and attention to the facts of the case, so we don’t leave any scorched earth behind after winning a case; often enough our clients and their opponents cross paths a second time. We regularly break new legal ground and the impact of many of the judgments we have achieved reaches far beyond the individual case.

By Your Side in Litigation,
Advice and Transactions

We fight copycats and the platforms they use. We protect trademarks and designs worldwide – through registration, strategic support and the enforcement of rights. From the start we already have an eye on the future success of potential litigation.

We support our clients in the marketing of their products and services – in e-commerce as well as in stationary retail. We advise on labelling and information obligations, green claims and other advertising claims and measures.

Each corporate transaction involves IP and in many of them IP is at the centre. We are experienced advisors to companies and to transaction advisors in M&A, carve-outs, license agreements and restructuring.

Advisors in Times of Rapid Change

New technologies, new means of communication, and new forms of advertising are transforming our clients’ markets and our work – both internally and externally. Technological change can represent both an opportunity and a threat for companies. We support our clients both in strategically exploiting these new opportunities and in effectively protecting themselves against the risks.
