FPS's diverse client base includes high-profile individuals as well as German medium-sized companies and global corporations, that draw on the practice's expertise in contentious cases and a strategic capacity. Notably, the practice also houses an anti-counterfeiting task force. Christoph Holzbach heads the team and recently assisted with the launch of new products and the management of global trade mark portfolios. At the turn of the year, the team welcomed various arrivals from Arnecke Sibeth Dabelstein, including Julia Wiefel (trade mark, competition and copyright law), Alexander Feitzinger (industry focus on health, transport, real estate and media) and Tassilo du Mesnil (trade mark and competition law).
