We are very satisfied with the assistance we received in our trademark infringement case. Landine provided excellent advice and represented our interests with great care and conviction. Her substantive knowledge, strategic insight, and clear communication gave us great confidence throughout the entire process. Furthermore, she responds quickly and effectively, which is invaluable in these types of cases. We highly recommend Landine.
Thanks to ARQUE Attorneys and a partner firm in the USA, we were able to add additional details to our trademark application and initiate other procedures that made all the difference for us. Not only are they very fast, but also exceptionally knowledgeable and a pleasure to work with.
Landine helped us very quickly and expertly with removing a malicious copy of the Vondelgym website.
Right from the first contact, it felt incredibly good. ARQUE Advocaten provided my organization with expert advice, translated information into understandable language, and gave me the feeling that I can always turn to them with questions.
