Track record of the Ploum IE team

Willem and Sabin owe their fine individual ranking to their excellent track record in the field of intellectual property law, particularly trademark law.

WTR refers to feedback they received from clients: "Collaborating with Ploum is incredible - the team is quick to reply and always tells it like it is. Their strategies are considered, straightforward and informed by broad industry knowledge." In the words of one in-house counsel: "It is one of my favourite firms to work with and I recommend it to anyone who needs assistance in the Netherlands".

“Client favourite” Tigu is “a very creative, commercial lawyer who really understands his clients’ environment and the reality they work in. He almost acts like in-house counsel, trying to resolve things in a business-focused, cost-consciousway.”
