Helping you succeed in tomorrow's world

As a lawyer I have always seen myself as the clients’ trusted advisor, and therefore I am aiming to not only advise our clients from a mere legal perspective, but rather thinking outside the box to identify the best legal, and sometimes even more important, the most ‘suitable’ commercial solution. 

Florian Reiling is not only a skilled practitioner of licensing and patent law, but also has a deep knowledge of general contract law while at all times bearing in mind the commercial consequences of a contractual set-up from a client’s perspective.

Finding individualised solutions, addressing risks in a pragmatic way, and articulating such risks in concise and clear language is definitely what distinguishes Florian. He is a safe pair of hands for licensing arrangements, R&D arrangements, collaboration agreements and other IP-heavy contracts.
