Ampersand – Germany 2016
Rankings
JUVE Comment
In patents, lone fighter Haag is respected for his litigation work. He is currently visible in various ongoing series of proceedings, e.g. for Unwired Planet, thus focusing on litigation for NPEs. To score success in the long term, the partner-centric Munich boutique needs a suitable growth strategy. This would also make Ampersand an interesting partner for other European firms with Haag’s experience in major proceedings, for instance when the UPC system comes into effect.
