"Joining Dekoninck in the guide this year is Marie Keup, “a rapid responder when fire breaks out and a thorough, disciplined lawyer with a methodical approach that is also fresh at the same time”. Keup’s ability to advise in English, French and Dutch is another majordraw."

Recommended - Intellectual property (Belgium): Patent and trade mark infringement litigation features prominently in Taylor Wessing's IP practice, especially for clients drawn from the life sciences and healthcare sectors. Design and copyright disputes are other areas of expertise for the team. The client base also takes in names from the food, fashion, design, retail and construction sectors. Practice head Christian Dekoninck, who joined from Crowell & Moring in 2018, is 'very hands-on' and garners praise for his 'forte in trade marks'. Counsel Marie Keup is 'very intelligent' and has extensive experience in copyright and design rights disputes. Associate Isabelle Verschueren is also noted.
