Called upon by household name clients, Sorainen specialises in IP protection and enforcement, extending to trade mark protection, trade mark enforcement, patent advice, and copyright advice. Specifically, trade mark opposition cases are areas of strength of managing partner Ieva Andersone, who ‘combines deep sectoral knowledge with legal ability, consistently delivering pragmatic solutions that align with clients’ business objectives.’ Andersone and Linda Sarāne-Reneslāce lead the team. The pair’s experience in life sciences and pharmaceutical sectors, particularly for regulatory issues, encapsulates a focus of the practice as a whole. Andris Tauriņš is another standout practitioner, a licensed patent attorney concentrating on trade marks. The group’s representation of clients in disputes such as patent infringement matters is an additional forte of the practice.
