DLA Piper

DLA Piper covers a broad spectrum, ranging from strategic advice and licensing law to trade secret protection and packaging law to contentious proceedings at a German and international level. The often globally active clients benefit not only from the firm's global positioning, but also from the practice's close cooperation between its trade mark, design and competition teams. The unit is particularly sought after for digital matters, for example in the context of innovative forms of advertising, marketing strategies and data protection. Practice head Stefan Engels reflects the team's broad positioning and assists with online, copyright and press law, among others. The fashion, consumer goods, technology and life sciences sectors are a clear focus for Burkhard Führmeyer, who, alongside contentious proceedings, advises on contractual and transaction-related IP matters.
