‘Bird & Bird have a unique culture that makes you feel at ease and comfortable, while simultaneously ensuring you are in the hands of top professionals who take care of every detail of your assignment. They know exactly what they’re doing.’
‘Piotr Dynowski and his team, with their hands-on approach, strategic thinking and years of expertise in heavyweight patent litigation, give me the comfort of knowing we are in safe hands. Their deep industry knowledge and market insights are invaluable, helping steer business decisions in the right direction, while their regulatory expertise adds further value.’
‘Marta Koremba is very responsive and thinks outside the box to find innovative solutions for her clients.’
‘They are always timely and responsive. Even with urgent matters, they provide thorough, well-considered, and sometimes creative solutions. Their team is the perfect combination: a partner who is a trade mark specialist, an of counsel who is a patent and legal expert, and an associate. Their approach makes us feel like we are part of one team.’
‘Mateusz Dubek is outstanding. We communicate almost every day via email, as if we were friends. We entrust him with difficult negotiation projects involving patent infringement, and although it takes time, we are getting closer to settlement through pre-litigation measures, which puts us in a better position. His understanding of technology and our objectives is reliable, and we have asked him to be the hub of our patent infringement project across Europe.’
‘Bird & Bird’s IP team provides a full range of IP advice, from hard IP (patent litigation, freedom to operate analysis, technology and know-how licensing) to soft IP (copyright, unfair competition, commercial advice). They have real, genuine experience, backed up by many years of practice, which sets them apart in the Polish market. They are true strategic advisers and can be trusted with complex, high-value IP disputes.’
‘Bird & Bird Poland has become a hub for IP within the firm, as it is more cost-effective to work with the Warsaw office than with Western European firms, yet with the same outstanding quality.’
‘Piotr Dynowski, partner and head of the IP practice, has extensive knowledge and experience, particularly in patent litigation, which translates into effective advice and representation, both in court and before the Patent Office.’
