The business model of this Düsseldorf-based litigation boutique, with its 17-strong lawyer team, continues to prove highly successful even as market conditions evolve. While other firms struggle with declining national proceedings and remain outside the select circle handling UPC cases, Wildanger enjoys unprecedented demand. The firm has long distinguished itself through its partner-led approach and close collaboration with external patent attorneys. Its measured positioning on UPC matters, focused on providing balanced advice for both national and European litigation strategies, is now proving particularly attractive to clients.
The firm’s expertise extends beyond its SEP specialists’ impressive work for regular clients such as Asus and Huawei. The team secured landmark FRAND decisions for Voice Age whilst maintaining strong demand from clients across diverse technological sectors. The practice’s litigation portfolio spans from pharmaceutical companies to coffee machine manufacturers.
This success stems partly from astute partnership development. The firm’s internal talent development programme has yielded several successes, contributing to an impressive overall strategy. The recent promotion of Eva Thörner to partner further strengthens the team, with her already earning recognition from opponents in various proceedings.
