As a designated IP unit, Teworte-Vey Simon Schumacher & Partner covers the entire spectrum of trade mark advice, although it also has expertise in related specialist areas such as food and medicinal product advertising law. Jan Schumacher, Marie Teworte-Vey and Gesa Simon are the practice's key contacts and are active in both litigation and advice to German and international companies. In June 2024, the practice strengthened its team with two new additions at partner level: Markus Robak, previously at JONAS Rechtsanwaltsgesellschaft mbH and active across soft IP as well as data protection and IT law, and Hanna Karin Held, a trade mark, design and competition lawyer who joined from Held IP.
Testimonials

'Very good advice. Excellent specialist knowledge, advice tailored to the client, e.g. where pragmatic advice is required, it is also given. Advice is not given on things that only bring in money for the firm but are not economical for the client. Excellent value for money.'
