IP and IT

DLA Piper Luxembourg

Praised for its ‘willingness to go the extra mile’ and its ’business-oriented and practical approach’, DLA Piper Luxembourg has continued to reinforce its credentials as a leading IP and IT player in the relatively short space of time since the team’s formation in 2018. Practice head Oliver Reisch is ‘very knowledgeable and versatile’ across a range of transactional, advisory and contentious tech matters, including a considerable amount of data protection compliance and IT outsourcing projects for funds and financial services clients. Acclaimed by one client as ’the legal world’s version of a Swiss Army knife—sharp, versatile, and always ready for action’, recently promoted partner David Alexandre spearheads the firm’s ‘soft’ IP offering, which includes a considerable amount of trademark prosecution work for large international corporates. Senior associate Alejandro González Vega is particularly noted for his copyright work within the TMT sector, where he is able to provide ’strategic advice on complex matters such as content licensing, digital rights management, and the protection of creative works in a rapidly evolving digital landscape’.
