Representing a wide range of clients active in sectors driven by technology, innovation and creativity (e.g., the pharmaceutical, biotechnological, advertising, media, entertainment, fashion industries), he focuses on complex and strategical legal advice with an immediate impact on his clients’ business. Thanks to his involvement in various international and cross-border matters, Jan-Diederik has an impressive global network and is often invited to act as lead attorney in multijurisdictional matters.
