“Boco IP

In the words of one client: “A go-to for EU and international instructions, Boco IP is our favourite firm to instruct. The group has certainly gained our trust through its diligence, responsiveness and complete understanding of our products. On top of that, the lawyers are friendly too.” Peter Åkerlund, Elina Heikkilä, Laura Roselius and Pamela Lönnqvist are the pillars of the practice. Instilling the set with robust leadership, Åkerlund’s advice is comprehensive and bespoke; a prudent strategist, he conducts risk analyses and fights infringement threats as they crop up. A frequent face before the EUIPO, Heikkilä is a master at navigating trademark processes across a multitude of jurisdictions. Her colleague Roselius strikes fear into the hearts of counterfeiters with her cast-iron strategies – the WTR 1000 newcomer’s flair for negotiation is put to good use in IP-rich deals. In pharmaceutical scenarios, Lönnqvist is a smart choice; she is a force to be reckoned with in the courtroom and knows how to seal a licensing deal with finesse.”
