I'm an associate in our Brussels Intellectual Property Group. I advise clients from various IP-heavy industries on their IP strategy and disputes, both in Belgian as well as cross-border matters. Together with the IP team, I help clients protect and monetise their IP assets. Intellectual property combines innovation - in science, technology, art - with business strategy. That is why I have been passionate about IP throughout my studies in law and economics and why I am eager to assist clients in IP issues. Before joining Bird & Bird, I gained experience by conducting internships in international law firms and innovative companies.
