The cohort at Bird & Bird is recognised for its capabilities advising on the gamut of patent matters in complex and often cross-jurisdictional contexts and is well-regarded for its ‘combination of drive, quality and focus’. In addition to handling complex patent litigation matters, which make up a large portion of its workload, the team handles a range of advisory work. Therein, the team frequently represents well-known clients across the array of industry sectors in such disputes as licence expiries, injunctions and infringements, before both the Dutch courts and the UPC. Manon Rieger-Jansen helms the offering. Key practitioners include Marc van Wijngaarden who has expertise in the life sciences and chemical industry sectors and is experienced handling UPC cases, as well as ’great’ practitioners Tjibbe Douma and Peter van Gemert, who harness tech specialisms. Carlos Van Staveren has noteworthy experience before the EPO and UPC.
