Press release dated December 21, 2022
BARDEHLE PAGENBERG elevates its team by hiring one of Germany’s leading attorneys-at-law, Dr. Tobias Wuttke, as an equity partner as of January 1, 2023. The expert for patent litigation changes firm from the renowned IP boutique Meissner Bolte where he successfully established and headed the litigation department as of 2010.
“We are extraordinarily happy to have won an extremely reputable patent litigation expert for our litigation group, which is continuously growing; thus, we will be represented at the significant UPC locations Munich, Duesseldorf, Paris, and – soon – Hamburg,” says Johannes Heselberger, Managing Partner of BARDEHLE PAGENBERG. He continues: “Tobias Wuttke has longstanding experience in complex international proceedings. We consider the fact that a top-class litigation expert from the first ranks of the sector chose us and our market strategy right before the start of the UPC a distinctly lucky development for our firm.”
Tobias Wuttke adds: “I am really excited to become part of the firm BARDEHLE PAGENBERG which perfectly matches my values and strategic orientation. BARDEHLE PAGENBERG offers an outstanding international platform for comprehensively advising my clients in the context of high-profile disputes. Especially the cooperation with one of Germany’s leading patent litigation groups and with experienced patent attorneys that lead the field in terms of technology provides me with optimal conditions both on a national and international level. This is particularly true for patent litigation which is increasingly conducted globally and will even gain significance due to the UPC. I would like to extend my heartfelt thank you to Meissner Bolte for many successful years. My changing firm is not a decision against Meissner Bolte, but one for BARDEHLE PAGENBERG. The possibility of contributing to positioning the patent litigation group of BARDEHLE PAGENBERG as the go-to group for UPC litigation world-wide is a unique opportunity for me.”
