  • 'The firm's intellectual rights department is highly competent and responsive. It is capable of managing a complex case and can call on the firm's resources in other areas if necessary. Knowledge of several languages and international contacts make it easier to handle cases.’

  • ‘Philippe Campolini and Louis Bidaine, with whom I had the opportunity to work, quickly understood the essence of our business, and therefore of our interests. They analysed the situations we were faced with from a distance and always considered different points of view, which enabled us to come up with the best strategy.’
