Member Profile

We are a boutique law-firm offering highly specialised legal assistance in intellectual property, information technology, privacy and commercial law. We provide assistance both in non-contentious and in contentious matters, in ordinary and urgent proceedings, including cross border proceedings, or in arbitrations and procedures before independent authorities and juries.

Our lawyers have a proven background in these fields and have been recognised with numerous international awards for their achievements.
