The ‘outstanding’ MLL Legal, praised for its ’very client oriented and reliable approach’, has an impressive workload that spans patent, trade mark and design litigation, as well as challenging pharma and medtech matters. The practice is jointly led by ‘consummate IP lawyer’ Michael Ritscher, who possesses a strong grounding in international patent and trade mark disputes as well as IP commercialisation; Simon Holzer, a prominent practitioner on the life sciences side; and Peter Schramm. Ulrike Ciesla fuses her pharma and litigation capabilities to bolster the team’s patent offering, and Louisa Galbraith is accomplished in managing 3D trade mark and non-conventional trade mark issues.
