Partners Willem Leppink and Sabin Tigu in World Trademark Review 2023

We are proud to announce that Ploum Rotterdam Law Firm's intellectual property law team has received a silver ranking in World Trademark Review's prestigious WTR 1000 2023 and, in addition, two partners received rankings as recommended individuals. Partner Willem Leppink received an individual ranking in the gold band and partner Sabin Tigu in the silver band of the 2023 edition.

Track record of the Ploum IE team

Willem and Sabin owe their individual ranking to their excellent track record in the field of intellectual property law, particularly trademark law. In this field, together with the IP team, they handle challenging, mostly international cases. WTR refers to feedback they received from clients: “I am impressed with how every member of Ploum’s team works in the same business-minded style. They’re incredibly pragmatic, aware of our expectations, and have never failed to act in our best interests.”.

“Willem is a fighter who is motivated to get things done. He is an effective legal communicator with a can-do attitude, who constantly strives for client satisfaction.”

“Sabin feels almost like in-house counsel because of how customer centred he is. He is extremely inventive and proactive in his approach, and is aware of the priorities and restrictions that apply to business. He ought to be everyone’s first port of call in the Netherlands, and the only reason I am hesitant to suggest him is because we don’t want him to become too popular.”
