Career
Nils is a skilled IP strategist, able to advise his clients on a range of IP matters, mostly related to the securing and enforcement of their IP rights. Working across the full breadth of industrial and service sectors, his domestic and international clients include SMEs and multinational corporations with global portfolios. His continued success and commitment to excellence remains a reason that many international clients choose Zacco to help them establish and enforce their rights across Germany.
A capable litigator, he is quickly able to establish the most important strategic, commercial and legal implications of his client’s rights, working in close collaboration with them to understand their market share, jurisdictions and areas of operation, and developing a strategy suited to their specific needs. He litigates patents, designs and trademarks and his skills as a negotiator see him regularly tasked with evaluating and drafting settlements, commercial contracts and licensing agreements.

He graduated from Kiel University in 1999 and spent his legal in-service training preceding the second state examination, among others, with the Malaysian-German Chamber of Commerce in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, and with an international law firm in Moscow, Russia.
