NautaDutilh’s IP team has been recognised with strong rankings across the Benelux in the 2026 edition of the World Trademark Review (WTR1000).

WTR highlighted five of our firm's intellectual property professionals as industry leaders in their respective jurisdictions. We are one of only three firms to receive a “Gold” ranking for Belgium and amongst the only two firms being listed in all three Benelux countries.

The three “Gold”, one “Silver” and one “Next Generation” individual rankings could not have been achieved without the expertise of our wider Benelux IP team.

“NautaDutilh sits at the very core of intellectual property in the Benelux, and its time-honoured reputation is reflected in the long-standing trust of clients”, WTR noted.

A great acknowledgment of the strength of our Benelux IP practice. This recognition reflects our seamless cross‑border collaboration, high‑quality work, and continued commitment to client service
