Noted for its ‘creative and proactive’ capabilities, Lenz & Staehelin excels across the full gamut of IP mandates, with extensive expertise in representing blue-chip clients in complex patent litigation alongside stellar work in relation to trade mark and design work. Four key players spearhead the group: Thierry Calame, who is a force to be reckoned with in relation to patents and IP related arbitration; Jürg Simon, who leverages his extensive experience in the field to advise on multi-faceted trade mark, design and licensing matters; Peter Ling, a noted practitioner on the litigation and licensing side, recently excelling in the telecoms industry; and lastly Sevan Antreasyan, who enjoys an established presence in the IT, biotech and medtech industries. Martin Aebi and Barbara Abegg further enhance the firm’s capabilities in the contentious IP sphere.
