The practice is headed by Rutger Kleemans, who frequently pleads cases before Dutch and European IP courts, and Jelle Drok, who handles tech-related patent disputes.

Testimonials
Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.
'Very responsive team with engaging members, from junior associate to partner level, into which you are integrated seamlessly. It is a pleasure to work with such a team.'
'Next to the required knowledge and skills, they really ask the difficult questions and want to get to the details, also the weak spots, of the case. Rutger Kleemans is strategically very strong, while Ruben Laddé really gets to the bottom of a case, including the technical details.'
