What clients say

'Our contacts have been the extremely renowned Willem Leppink and his outstanding younger partner Sabin Tigu. We greatly appreciate this collaboration, especially their enormous commitment, their goal to always achieve more than their competitors, their enormous experience and the passion with which they practice.’ - Legal 500 EMEA 2024

‘Willem Leppink and Sabin Tigu are a fantastic team. All round good performers and really nice to deal with.’ - Legal 500 EMEA 2024

“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.” - WTR 1000 2023

Willem Leppink heads the group (intellectual property) and is supported by partner Sabin Tigu in assisting clients including Harley-Davidson, Arla Foods, Donna Karan, and the Ford Motor Company.
