WTR about NLO:
"One of the largest full-service IP consultancies around, NLO Shieldmark combines in-depth technical knowledge with thorough legal insights to provide a winning formula for clients. A consulting firm, rather than a filing factory, the young and growing team provides 21st century solutions. This year has been one of transition for NLO Shieldmark, with Jeroen Cornelis becoming managing partner, Marlous Stal-Hilders becoming head of the trademark department and three new trainees joining the team. Cornelis and Stal-Hilders form an enviable tag team and bring vast experience to the table, particularly when it comes to managing international portfolios. Masja van der Galiën and Milca Graver-de Looper are also experienced heads in the firm’s ranks. Van der Galiën takes her clients through all stages of a trademark lifecycle, leaving no stone unturned, while Graver-de Looper is a partner to a broad roster of clients, which she provides with honest, business-focused solutions. A new entry to the guide this year comes in the form of Florence Tordoir, a master mediator, negotiator and strategist whose breadth of sector experience knows nobounds."
