Dr. Gaurav Sahal

"Since joining NLO in 2022, I have drawn on my extensive experience of over 15 years in pharmaceutical IP strategies. My background has contributed to the growth of NLO’s network and the expansion of our client base in both the pharmaceutical and non-pharmaceutical sectors in India and the United States. Additionally, I have increased NLO's visibility through webinars, seminars, and other initiatives. I am proud of the contribution I can make in connecting legal and business objectives and look forward to continuing to support NLO’s international growth as a senior advisor."

Dr. Marion Bruin

"I am grateful that NLO’s partners have appointed me as an Associate Partner. I have greatly enjoyed contributing to the representation and advising of our clients, including successfully handling opposition proceedings in the fields of chemistry and life sciences at the European Patent Office. Additionally, I am proud of my role as the driving force behind the NLO Academy, the annual symposium for our clients. I am eagerly looking forward to the opportunities and developments the coming years will bring," says Marion Bruin about her appointment.

Bas Verschoor MSc LLB

"After an invaluable 11-year period outside of NLO, I am delighted to return to the place where my career as a patent attorney began in 2001. In recent years, I have further deepened my expertise as an in-house patent attorney, including at Shell, and as Senior Legal Counsel IP. I bring this broad experience back to NLO, where I will focus on the physics and mechanical sectors. I look forward to applying my knowledge and skills to support our clients' ambitions, with particular attention to cases before the UPC."

The appointments of Gaurav, Marion, and Bas as Associate Partners reflect NLO’s commitment to recognizing exceptional talent and fostering leadership. We are confident that their expertise, vision, and dedication will continue to contribute to NLO’s success in the years to come.
