Testimonials

Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.

‘Jones Day's IP team has an impressive strike force, in France and abroad, with teams specializing in all areas of IP law (hard IP, soft IP, Transactional IP and Cyber/Data) in each of its main offices. The lawyers are able to handle complex cases both in consulting and litigation, in particular on cross-border operations that involve the intervention of specialists in specific fields and across the world.'
'The way Jones Day operates, the fluidity of exchanges and the constant attention they demonstrate to systematically building the best possible team for the client's needs, make this firm a reference in the field of intellectual property where they surpass, in my opinion, their main competitors. The IP team knows how to be innovative and has always been able to propose the use of cutting-edge methods, management of employees involved in a case or implementation of AI systems).'
‘In my opinion, Edouard Fortunet particularly stands out within Jones Day's IP team in Paris. He has shone in recent years on complex litigation in the field of video games and in the field of fashion. From a transactional point of view, Edouard has also intervened on very visible cases in recent years involving large industrial groups.'
‘Jones Day has a strong expertise in terms of trademark and authors' rights prosecution and global trademark strategies.'
