Testimonial

2024/2025

"The Belgium office of Taylor Wessing is relatively compact in size but well experienced in IP cases including patent litigations. In my view, one of the strengths of the team exists in its high ability to understand complicated technical issues and to write briefs about the technologies in very simple and convincing manner. Also, the team shows an excellent collaboration with outside patent attorneys and/or technical experts. Although they are very professional, the team's atmosphere is very friendly and tries accommodating the client's desires in terms of legal and/or strategical approaches in litigations."

"Taylor Wessing provides very good service and has been working with us on several transactions, always providing to-the-point advice. We like the availability, knowledge and efficiency in delivering legal services."

"The firm has the legal as well as the scientific know-how in house to handle this case (antibody related). We like their responsiveness, their knowledge and their capability to collaborate with different people."

Christian Dekoninck

"Mr. Dekoninck has moved from another famous firm (Crowell Moring) and has been a lead in the IP team in Taylor Wessing. In our case, he is a lead counsel. He is a good organizer of the team and can collaborate with attorneys in other jurisdictions in multilateral cases like the one we are involved in. His writing skill is one of the best among many attorneys I have worked with. Another good aspect of Mr. Dekoninck is his responsiveness. When one of our clients was subject to a sudden counterfeit seizure, Mr. Dekoninck immediately came to the client's office and provided perfect assistance to the staff in the office."

"Christian is very knowledgeable but also has the talent to explain something in a simple way. Not many lawyers have that gift."

Marie Keup

"She is a very bright lawyer, combining excellent technical and knowledge skills with a very good commercial approach, and is always very responsive."

2023

"They are such great people and always understand what we (or our clients) need from the start."
