Ploum partners Willem Leppink and Sabin Tigu in World Trademark Review 2022

08 Mar '22

We are proud to announce that the intellectual property law team of Ploum Rotterdam Law Firm received a silver ranking in the prestigious WTR 1000 2022 of World Trademark Review and that two partners were also ranked as recommended individuals. Partner Willem Leppink received an individual mention in the gold tier and partner Sabin Tigu in the bronze tier of this 2022 edition. Willem also received a separate mention as recommended anti-counterfeiting expert.

   

Track record of the Ploum IE team

Willem and Sabin owe their fine individual ranking to their excellent track record in the field of intellectual property law, particularly trademark law. In this field, together with the IP team, they handle challenging, mostly international cases. WTR refers to feedback they received from clients: "Collaborating with Ploum is incredible - the team is quick to reply and always tells it like it is. Their strategies are considered, straightforward and informed by broad industry knowledge." In the words of one in-house counsel: "It is one of my favourite firms to work with and I recommend it to anyone who needs assistance in the Netherlands".

“Client favourite” Tigu is “a very creative, commercial lawyer who really understands his clients’ environment and the reality they work in. He almost acts like in-house counsel, trying to resolve things in a business-focused, cost-consciousway.”
