About

Provided by Liedekerke

Intellectual property, information technology and data protection have become main driving forces behind the business of an increasing number of companies.

Our dedicated team of lawyers handles IP, IT and data protection cases at both national and international level, whether it is advisory, litigation or transactional work (in support of other practices within the firm).

Our approach is to fully understand the industry sectors in which our clients operate. We ensure that we understand each client’s commercial objectives and concerns, we anticipate the issues and we tailor our services to achieve the best possible strategy from an IP, IT and data protection perspectives. We believe in a practical, business-oriented approach to legal issues. If needed, we propose alternative dispute resolution, try to reach out-of-court settlements, or negotiate joint ventures instead of indefinitely pursuing litigation.
