‘RTPR litigation team stand out because of their strategic approach to cases and goal-focused mindset, being well versed in IP litigation concerning trade marks and domain names. The amazing team is always available and very responsive, being oriented towards solving clients’ needs. They recently delivered first-class service in a complex IP dispute concerning trademark infringement by a series of car service repair units whereby they managed to obtain, in record time, a successful outcome. RTPR litigation team is always a primary choice for me in case I need to externalize legal work involving litigation, especially IP and competition disputes. One other aspect that was very reassuring is that the key members of the team are unchanged throughout the engagement.’
