Ellex Raidla‘s broad practice is highly regarded for its expertise in handling the full range of IP, IT and telecoms matters. The group is very well known for its excellent track record in advising on high-profile IP cases, often involving pan-European patents issues. Cross-border IP work is prominent in Ants Nõmper’s workload, while Mari Must is praised as ‘a valued specialist in both industrial property and copyright issues’. Nõmper and Must co-head the team, which is also instructed in copyright and patent infringement disputes. Merlin Liis-Toomela is ‘always to the point’ and routinely handles matters involving interlocking points of IP, data protection and IT law.
